Kat in opleiding van Rachel Wells is een hartverwarmend verhaal voor iedere kattenliefhebber. Zoals gebruikelijk heeft Alfie het druk, want in zijn straat is er altijd wel iemand die een steuntje in de rug kan gebruiken. En dan heeft hij zijn poten ook nog vol aan zijn drie ondeugende ‘kleinkittens’. Nu Alfie een dagje ouder wordt, kan hij wel wat hulp gebruiken, dus hij besluit de drie kittens op te leiden tot ware helpers van de buurt! Een bijkomend voordeel is dat ze op die manier minder tijd voor kittenkwaad hebben. Wanneer er op mysterieuze wijze kattenvoer verdwijnt, besluit Alfie dat dit een perfecte eerste zaak voor zijn jonge leerlingen is. Maar of het drietal er klaar voor is? Kat in opleiding is het voorlopig laatste deel in de populaire Alfie-reeks, waarna het stokje wordt doorgegeven aan een nieuwe generatie kittens.

The Sunday Times bestseller returns for a fourth book! Alfie and his mischievous kitten George are back for more adventures – this time taking them a long way from home...

The first book to devote serious attention to questions of scale in contemporary sculpture, this study considers the phenomenon within the interlinked cultural and socio-historical framework of the legacies of postmodern theory and the growth of global capitalism. In particular, the book traces the impact of postmodern theory on concepts of measurement and exaggeration, and analyses the relationship between this philosophy and the sculptural trend that has developed since the early 1990s. Rachel Wells examines the arresting international trend of sculpture exploring scale, including American precedents from the 1970s and 1980s and work by the 'Young British Artists'. Noting that the emergence of this sculptural trend coincides with the end of the Cold War, Wells suggests a similarity between the quantitative ratio of scale and the growth of global capitalism that has replaced the former status quo of qualitatively opposed systems. This study also claims the allegorical nature of scale in contemporary sculpture, outlining its potential for critique or complicity in a system dominated by quantitative criteria of value. In a period characterised by uncertainty and incommensurability, Wells demonstrates that scale in contemporary sculpture can suggest the possibility of, and even an unashamed reliance upon, comparison and external difference in the construction of meaning.
