The Sunday Times Bestseller 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.
