Thames and Hudson have published two books this year I have written on a pet theme for the Curious questions about your favourite pet series. These were really fun to write and I am very much pleased to now know which dogs like surfing and how sensitive cats' noses are.
Both Why Do Dogs Sniff Bottoms and Why Do Cats Meow are illustrated by Lily Snowden-Fine and are available from Thames and Hudson's website (Dogs and Cats), Amazon, and the wonderful Hive. |

I was part of the panel of experts who chose the 300 images that feature in Phaidon’s beautiful new tome Animal: Exploring the Zoological World and worked as a member of the writing team on the images’ interpretations. I wrote about a fascinating range of images, from netsuke, to the earliest experiments in night photography, via the first European sketches of Darwin’s more enigmatic South American fossil mammal discoveries. I’m extremely proud to have been part of this, Phaidon’s visually stunning and broad-ranging survey that explores and celebrates humankind's ongoing fascination with animals.
