With a new afterword, Why You Are Here: A speech on the opening of the COP26 climate summitAs a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion.

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.

The Sunday Times BestsellerA new, fully updated narrative edition of David Attenboroughâ ™s seminal biography of our world, The Living Planet.Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life.

By the end of this book it is difficult to say which is the more astonishing â “ 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.

Žijící legenda a průvodce sérií Zázračná planeta z produkce BBC, sir David Attenborough, vypráví příběh začátku své kariéry přírodovědce, dokumentaristy a popularizátora. V roce 1954 se mladému Davidu Attenboroughovi naskytla životní příležitost cestovat po světě, hledat vzácná, stěží polapitelná zvířata pro Londýnskou zoologickou zahradu a zároveň celou expedici zachytit pro pořad BBC Výpravy za zvířaty. Výpravy do divočiny jsou příběhem těchto cest. Aby mohl Attenborough a jeho tým představit neuvěřitelnou krásu a biodiverzitu naší planety, museli se při pobytu u domorodců a výpravách za mravenečníky velikými v Guyaně, varany komodskými v Indonésii a pásovci v Paraguayi vypořádat nejen s agresivními dikobrazy, divokými prasaty a dravými rybami, ale i se zrádným terénem a nevypočitatelným počasím. Attenborough píše s typickým humorem a šarmem. Výpravy do divočiny ale nejsou jen příběhem fascinujícího dobrodružství, jsou také příběhem muže, který nás přiměl zamilovat si divokou přírodu a který nás dodnes učí, jak důležité je ji chránit. Ohlasy: „Attenborough vypráví o dobrodružstvích, která zažil před šedesáti lety s typicky britským humorem… Je to úžasná kniha pro každého, kdo se chce zprostředkovaně vydat na cestu tak, jako to dělávali dřívější dobrodruzi, a kdo se snaží pochopit, jak daleko jsme pokročili ve snaze o ochranu divokých zvířat.“ The New York Times „Fascinující kniha, neocenitelný záznam prvních tří cest Davida Attenborougha… Attenborough dokáže ve čtenáři vzbudit dojem, že je součástí scény, součástí jeho týmu, a proto se jeho kniha tak těžko odkládá… Na jejích stránkách, stejně jako na obrazovce, sir David sdílí, ukazuje, vysvětluje. Jeho styl je odzbrojujícím způsobem skromný a naprosto vás strhne.“ The Telegraph „Vzácná příležitost pozorovat nezkušeného Davida Attenborougha uprostřed divočiny.“ Vanity Fair „Úžasný pedagog a úžasný přírodovědec.“ prezident Barack Obama

Uznávaný přírodovědec a tvář populárních dokumentů BBC vypráví o svých prvních cestách do neznáma za neprostupnou panenskou divočinou Po úspěšných výpravách do Afriky a Jižní Ameriky zamířili David Attenborough se svým dvorním kameramanem Charlesem Lagusem na konci 50. let minulého století doslova na druhý konec světa. Na Madagaskaru, Nové Guineji, tichomořských ostrovech i v australském Severním teritoriu natáčeli divoká zvířata i původní obyvatele, jejichž zvyky byly (a dodnes jsou) pro naprostou většinu lidí na Západě zcela neznámé. Na ostrově Pentecost sledovali domorodé rituály, jež daly vzniknout bungee jumpingu, na Tonze se jako první Evropané stali svědky královského obřadu pití kavy a v australském Severním teritoriu objevovali prastaré skalní malby. Při svých výpravách Attenborough s Lagusem obdivovali mnoho nádherných tvorů od rajek přes chameleony po sifaky v jejich přirozeném prostředí. Ve Výpravách na druhý konec světa vypráví David Attenborough svým nezaměnitelně okouzlujícím, vtipným a vřelým způsobem o mimořádných dobrodružstvích, jež zažil s těmi nejpozoruhodnějšími lidmi a zvířaty na světě. „Skvělá kniha pro každého, kdo chce zprostředkovaně putovat po světě jako dávní cestovatelé a snažit se pochopit, jak dlouhou cestu jsme urazili v přístupu k ochraně přírody.

„Tato úžasná kniha živě popisuje krásu ptáků a jejich neobyčejně pestré chování“ Neil Chalmers, bývalý ředitel londýnského Přírodopisného muzea Nové, doplněné vydání bestselleru Davida Attenborougha Přes 80 úchvatných fotografií ve čtyřech barevných fotopřílohách, nejaktuálnější poznatky, vynikající úvod do pestrého ptačího světa. Ptáci představují nejrozšířenější třídu velkých zvířat, obývají všechny kontinenty i oceány a svou rozmanitostí a pestrobarevností nás nepřestávají fascinovat. Od okamžiku, kdy se před 150 miliony lety objevili, se u nich vyvinula úchvatná škála řešení všemožných problémů a nade vše vynikají schopností létat. Jejich životy jsou díky tomu stejně zajímavé jako jejich vzhled. Život ptáků se stal klasickým dílem popisujícím okouzlující ptačí svět. Nové vydání je doplněno o nejaktuálnější poznatky, a tvoří tak vynikající úvod do ptačí problematiky. Napomáhá k pochopení toho, jak se ptáci chovají a co je k tomu vede, a odhaluje zásadní fáze v ptačím životě i nesnáze, se kterými se musí ptáci vypořádat. Prozkoumává učení se létat, hledání potravy, komunikaci, páření a péči o hnízda, vejce a mláďata, migraci, boj s nebezpečím i přežívání v tvrdých podmínkách. David Attenborough nám v Životě ptáků ukazuje, o kolik se ochuzujeme, když se na ptáky pouze díváme a nepátráme po tom, co dělají a proč. Sir DAVID ATTENBOROUGH (* 1926) je nejznámějším britským tvůrcem přírodovědných filmů. Vystudoval Cambridgeskou univerzitu a dva roky sloužil v Královském námořnictvu. V roce 1952 nastoupil do BBC a brzy začal pracovat na pořadu Zoo Quest, který mu dal první příležitost vyrážet na expedice do odlehlých koutů naší planety. Zápisky z expedic později vyšly knižně jako Výpravy do divočiny a Výpravy na druhý konec světa (česky obě 2022). K jeho přelomovým snímkům patří Život na Zemi (1979, modernizované knižní vydání česky 2023), Živá planeta (1984, modernizované knižní vydání česky 2024), Zázraky života (1990), Soukromý život rostlin (1995), Modrá planeta (2001) nebo Svět plazů a obojživelníků (2008). V roce 2020 vydal úspěšnou knihu Život na naší planetě (česky 2021), jež souběžně vznikala ve filmové podobě. V roce 1985 byl pasován na rytíře a stal se tak sirem Davidem.

Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, in the late 1950s onwards the young David Attenborough embarked on further travels 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 cameraman companion were aiming to record not just the wildlife, but the way of life of some of the indigenous people of these regions, whose traditions had never been encountered 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, it is a journey like no other. Alongside these remarkable cultures he encounters paradise birds, chameleons, sifakas and many more animals in some of the most unique environments on the planet. Written with David Attenborough s characteristic charm, humour and warmth, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is an inimitable adventure among people, places and the wildest of wildlife.

Proplavte chaluhovými lesy, mangrovy a korálovými útesy a nahlédněte do nejhlubších zákoutí nejméně probádaného ekosystému Země, skrytých téměř jedenáct kilometrů pod hladinou.Vydejte se na fascinující objevitelskou cestu a setkejte se s karetami a plejtváky obrovskými, s klauny očkatými a světélkujícími medúzami, s vampýrovkami a „bezhlavými kuřecími příšerami“ – zvláštním druhem sumýše obývajícím oceánské dno.S vřelostí, inteligencí a úžasem typickými pro veškeré dílo Davida Attenborougha nám Oceán představuje svět, jenž je zoufale křehký a se svou neobyčejnou regenerační schopností zároveň podivuhodně odolný. Na obnovu nejdůležitějšího životního prostředí ještě není pozdě. Pokud jej budeme respektovat, mořský svět bude ještě bohatší a úchvatnější, než si dovedeme představit.
