Amazing Rare Things


A gorgeously illustrated volume devoted to the natural history drawings and watercolors of Leonardo da Vinci and other outstanding artists of the Age of Discovery From the fifteenth century onwards, as European explorers sailed forth on grand voyages of discovery, their encounters with exotic plants and animals fanned intense scientific interest. Scholars began to examine nature with fresh eyes, and pioneering artists transformed the way nature was seen and understood. In Amazing Rare Things, renowned naturalist and documentary-maker David Attenborough joins with expert colleagues to explore how artists portrayed the natural world during this era of burgeoning scientific interest. The book focuses on an exquisite selection of natural history drawings and watercolors by Leonardo da Vinci, Alexander Marshal, Maria Sibylla Merian, and Mark Catesby, and from the collection of Cassiano dal Pozzo—works all held in the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. Attenborough and his coauthors offer lucid commentary on topics ranging from the 30,000-year history of human drawings of the natural world, to Leonardo’s fascination with natural processes, to Catesby’s groundbreaking studies that introduced Europeans to the plants and animals of North America. With 160 full color illustrations, this beautiful book will appeal to readers with interests that extend from art and science to history and nature.

Journeys to the Other Side of the World


Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s onwards a young David Attenborough embarked on further expeditions in a very different part of the world. From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory of Australia, he and his team were not just searching for rare animals, but were aiming to record the way of life of some of the tribes of these regions, whose traditions and ways of life had never been seen by most of the British public before. From the land divers of Pentecost Island and the sing-sings of New Guinea, to a Royal Kava ceremony on Tonga and the ancient art of the Northern Territory - the place where, it has since been discovered, humanity has existed the longest - it is a journey like no other. Along the way, he encounters paradise birds, lemurs, sifakas, and many more animals in areas that are home to some of the most unique wildlife on the planet. Written with David Attenborough's characteristic charm, humour and humanity, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is unique, and inimitable, adventure among people, places and the wildest of wildlife.

A Life on our Planet


I am David Attenborough. At time of writing, I am 93 years old. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited. All we need is the will do so.

Egy élet a bolygókon


Kilencvennégy éves vagyok. Rendkívüli élet jutott osztályrészemül; csak most kezdem felismerni, hogy mennyire rendkívüli. Fiatalkoromban úgy éreztem, hogy odakint a szabadban az érintetlen, őseredeti természet vesz körül - ez azonban nem volt egyéb, mint illúzió. Korunk nagy tragédiája - az érintetlen természeti környezet folyamatos zsugorodása és a biológiai sokféleség, a biodiverzitás csökkenése - alig észrevehetően nap mint nap itt zajlik körülöttünk. Tanúja voltam ennek a hanyatlásnak. Az Egy élet a bolygónkon a tanúvallomásom, egyben a látomásom is. Történet arról, miként követtük el a leghatalmasabb tévedésünket, és annak felvázolása, hogy ha haladéktalanul cselekszünk, hogyan tudjuk helyrehozni ezt a tévedést. Ma még - utoljára - van esélyünk arra, hogy tökéletes otthont teremtsünk magunknak, és helyreállítsuk az épségét annak a csodálatos világnak, amelyet örököltünk. Csak akarnunk kell. Földünkön az élővilággal osztozunk, mely az elképzelhető legcsodálatosabb, évmilliárdok alatt kialakult létfenntartó rendszer. Bolygónk stabilitása azonban megingott, miközben a biológiai sokféleség vészesen lecsökkent - a kettő ugyanis szorosan összefügg. Helyre kell állítanunk a biodiverzitást, amit oly kíméletlenül pusztítottunk. Ez az egyetlen kiút a magunk által előidézett válságból. Vissza kell vadítanunk a világot. A könyvhöz kapcsolódó film, Egy élet a bolygónkon címmel, a Netfilxen látható. Sir David Attenborough (1926) a világ legismertebb és legnépszerűbb brit természetfilmese. Oyyan legendás, mára klasszikussá vált BBC-filmsorozatokat készítése fűződik a nevéhez, mint az Élet a Földön (1979), Az élő bolygó (1984), Az élet megpróbáltatásai (1990), A növények magánélete (1995), A madarak élete (1998), A kék bolygó (2001), Az emlősök élete (2002), a Bolygónk, a Föld (2006) és az Élet hidegvérrel (2008). 1985-ben II. Erzsébet királynő lovaggá ütötte. Sir David Attenborough a Royal Society tagja, és fáradhatatlan képviselője a természetvédelemmel kapcsolatos kezdeményezéseknek.

The Living Planet: The Web of Life on Earth


A new, fully updated narrative edition of David Attenborough's seminal biography of our world, The Living Planet. Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants and animals thrive or survive within every extreme of climate and habitat that it offers. Single species, and often whole communities adapt to make the most of ice cap and tundra, forest and plain, desert, ocean and volcano. These adaptations can be truly extraordinary: fish that walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air; snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears that grow hair on the soles of their feet. In The Living Planet, David Attenborough's searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies, from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures that have established themselves in the most recent of environments, the city. By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing - the ingenuity with which individual species contrive a living, or the complexity of their interdependence on each other and on the habitations provided by our planet. In this new edition, the author, with the help of zoologist Matthew Cobb, has added all the most up-to-date discoveries of ecology and biology, as well as a full-colour 64-page photography section. He also addresses the urgent issues facing our living planet: climate change, pollution and mass extinction of species.

Life on Air


Sir David Attenborough is Britain's best-known natural history film-maker. His career as a naturalist and broadcaster has spanned nearly six decades, and in this volume of memoirs Sir David tells stories of the people and animals he has met and the places he has visited. His first job - after Cambridge University and two years in the Royal Navy - was at a London publishing house. Then in 1952 he joined the BBC as a trainee producer, and it was while working on the Zoo Quest series (1954-64) that he had his first opportunity to undertake expeditions to remote parts of the globe, to capture intimate footage of rare wildlife in its natural habitat. He was Controller of BBC2 (1965-68), during which time he introduced colour television to Britain, then Director of Programmes for the BBC (1969-1972). However, in 1973 he abandoned administration altogether to return to documentary-making and writing, and has established himself as the world's leading Natural History programme maker with several landmark BBC series, including Life on Earth (1979), The Living Planet (1984), The Trials of Life (1990), The Private Life of Plants (1995), Life of Birds (1998), The Blue Planet (2001), Life of Mammals (2002), Planet Earth (2006) and Life in Cold Blood (2008). Sir David is an Honorary Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, a Fellow of the Royal Society and was knighted in 1985. He is also Britain's most respected, trusted and lauded natural history broadcaster and writer, championing conservation and standing at the forefront of issues concerning the planet's declining species. A lot has changed since his first television documentary, and in this updated edition of Life on Air Sir David tells us of his experiences of filming in the 21st century.

Živá planeta: Síť života na Zemi
