URBAN TAILS: inside the hidden world of alley cats

In cities and towns across the world, feral cats roam unnoticed, with generation after generation making their way through gritty lives filled with disease and hardship. When photographer Knox began noticing the growing colony of cats in the alley behind his recording studio, he entered a complex world of feline families struggling for survival. In many ways brutal, this world, he discovered, was also filled with strong family bonds, intriguing personalities, and real emotion. Urban Tails, featuring Knox's striking images and Sara Neeley's lively text, celebrates these survivors at the intersection of nature and industry and documents the authors' rescue operation to trap, neuter, and return them to their original environment. Urban Tails is a powerful testament to such operations, giving readers a glimpse into a hidden world of lives that, while not ideal, can be filled with beauty and love.

SPIRIT HORSES

Through his luminescent photography of horses, Tony Stromberg works to bridge what he calls “modern life’s disturbing separation between people and nature.” This gorgeous book of full-color photography is filled with one hundred and fifty of Stromberg’s extraordinary portraits of wild horses, along with accompanying quotations from leading teachers and writers exploring equine wisdom and its intersection with spirituality. Stromberg believes that horses can be profound teachers, bringing deep wisdom to a world dangerously out of balance. Through the power and mystery of the horse, Stromberg seeks to reignite qualities of freedom, spirit, power, grace, and harmony in people’s souls.
