In this timely and controversial work, Sue Hubbell contends that the concept of genetic engineering is anything but new, for humans have been tinkering with genetics for centuries. Focusing on four specific examples -- corn, silkworms, domestic cats, and apples -- she traces the histories of species that have been fundamentally altered over the centuries by the whims and needs of people.

Early examples of tinkering with genes are explored, such as brreding smaller and tamer cats, turning wild grass into corn, breeding silkworms dependent on people, and making apples prettier but tasteless.

This is the budget version of CATS ON FILM, with black and white photos instead of colour ones. What is a Catguffin? Why should you be wary of a Catzilla? What is the difference between a Catagonist and a Heropuss? Who or what is a Modesty Cat, and why does The Third Man have such problems with kitten continuity? All these questions and many others are answered in CATS ON FILM, the definitive work of feline film scholarship, in which critic and novelist Anne Billson explores the many and varied narrative functions of cats by examining their appearances in one hundred films, from blockbusters to art films, foreign films to cult oddities, rom-coms to horror movies. Meet Clovis, Ulysses, Jezebel, Pyewacket, Pumpkin and a clowder of other celebrated film felines, learn how the White Cat of Evil launched his career as Blofeld's lapcat in the James Bond franchise, and thrill to My Day By Jones, in which the cat's eye view of Alien is finally revealed. CATS ON FILM. No cat-loving film fan can afford to be without it.

Emmy was a good girl. At least she tried very hard to be good. She did her homework without being told. She ate all her vegetables, even the slimy ones. And she never talked back to her nanny, Miss Barmy, although it was almost impossible to keep quiet, some days. She really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all . . . Hilarious, inventive, and irresistably rodent-friendly, Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat is a fantastic first novel from acclaimed picture book author Lynne Jonell.
