Life on Earth:
David Attenboroughs unforgettable meeting with gorillas became an iconic moment for millions of television viewers. Life on Earth, the series and accompanying book, fundamentally changed the way we view and interact with the natural world, setting a new benchmark of quality and influencing a generation of nature lovers.Told through an examination of animal and plant life, this is an astonishing celebration of the evolution of life on earth, with a cast of characters drawn from the whole range of organisms that have ever lived on this planet.

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 Living Planet, David Attenboroughs searching eye, unfailing curiosity and infectious enthusiasm explain and illuminate the intricate lives of the these colonies.

The Trials of Life:
This is, quite simply, the best thing Ive ever done Sir David Attenborough on the TV series The Trials of Life, upon which this book is based.This is the third and last of Sir Davids great natural history books based on his TV series and competes his survey of the animal world that began with Life on Earth and continues with Living Planet.
