David Attenborough

Con motivo del hallazgo de antiguas películas en color de sus viajes de los años 50, David Attenborough decidió recuperar en este libro los textos de aquella época y seleccionar los pasajes más divertidos o más interesantes. Son historias llenas de frescura y simpatía, en las que el lector participará de las peripecias para atrapar osos hormigueros, armadillos o dragones de Komodo con los que proveer a los zoológicos británicos. En 2022, con 96 años de edad, David Attenborough ha recibido de las Naciones Unidas el título de Campeón de la Tierra, un honor que está por encima de ideologías o intereses nacionales. El honor que solo merece un héroe. Este es nuestro modesto homenaje.

See the world. Then make it better.'I am 94. 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 is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is 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 one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.'All we need is the will to do so.'

Spanning billions of years, First Life reveals the extraordinary story of the evolution of the first life on Earth and how it then evolved into multicellular life, the first plant, the first animal, the first predator, the first to live on land: key moments in the development of the huge diversity of life that has lived on planet Earth. First Life travels the world, from Canada to Australia, Morocco to Scotland, to unearth the secrets hidden in prehistoric fossils and meet the palaeontologists who have harnessed new techniques to enhance greatly our understanding of the origins of life. With an introduction by David Attenborough, and insights captured during the making of the television series, this book is a journey of discovery, showing us what these early animals would have looked like and how they would have lived, bringing them to life with the help of modern computer technology.
