: Tiger on the Tiles
Why does your cat like being stroked? Why does it rub itself against you? Why do cats bring back dead mice? And why do they spend so much time grooming themselves? The answers, revealed by catwatcher Desmond Morris , demonstrate the wildness that crouches just under the fur of pets. In the way they behave, they're just a whisker away from tigers. And not only the big cats: their smaller, little-known relatives, from caracals to leopard cats, all give us an insight into the private life of pet cats - the most independent of all man's domesticated animals.

Chinese history has become one of the best-selling non-fiction books of recent years. Chang's grandmother, born in Imperial China in 1909, was sold as a concubine to a Manchurian warlord. The author's mother joined her idealistic young husband on the Long March only to be locked up in later years for "bourgeois crimes".
JungChang herself grew up
In the Cultural Revolution but left China in 1978 and came to Britain on a scholarship; she has remained here ever since.
