In 1954, a young television presenter was offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for London Zoo's collection, and to film the expeditions for the BBC. This is the story of those voyages. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team battled with cannibal fish, aggressive tree porcupines and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. The methods may be outdated now, but the fascination and respect for the wildlife, the people and the environment - and the importance of protecting these wild places - is not.Written with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world, and who is still doing so today.

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.

The modern city of Southend-on-Sea has come a long way since its eighteenth-century origins as an oyster fishing hamlet at the south end of Prittlewell parish. Now Southend is a regional employment, shopping and educational centre, attracting 6.5 million visitors a year and housing 180,000 permanent residents. The construction of the Royal Hotel in the 1790s began Southend’s transformation into a resort, but it was the arrival of the railway in 1856 that was the real catalyst for growth. The town’s boundaries expanded three times: in the 1890s, 1910s and 1930s. During the Second World War, Southend played a key part in the defence of London and in the organisation of merchant shipping convoys. By the 1950s and 1960s the town was known far and wide as a mecca for leisure and entertainment. The awarding of city status in 2021, following the senseless murder of Southend West MP Sir David Amess, who had long campaigned for it, was bittersweet but it was also the latest symbol of how Southend has grown.Illustrated throughout, this accessible historical portrait of the transformation that Southend has undergone through the ages will be of great interest to residents, visitors and all those with links to ...

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 ...

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.

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.

David Attenborough is one of the most influential and admired figures in English television. When 26, he applied for a job in the BBC – which then meant radio – and was promptly turned down. But someone saw his rejected application and asked, would he like to try television? He would, and sixty years later, he is still at it. Elegantly told, often very funny, here is his story.At home there is his rise to controlling BBC2, introducing colour television to Britain, encounters with Montgomery, Anthony Eden, singers, athletes, explorers, the Queen, Benjamin Britten. Abroad there are people just as remarkable, journeys up tropical rivers, to the interior of New Guinea or the Australian outback, dragons, birds of paradise, flying snakes and walls of cockroaches.Now updated to cover his work since 2009, Life on Air is a remarkable account of David Attenborough’s passion for the natural world and his lifelong quest to understand it. .

From the icy oceans of our poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough has filmed in every ocean habitat on planet earth. Now, with long-term collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of our last great, critical wilderness, and the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe. Through one hundred years, eight unique ocean habitats, countless intriguing species - and through personal stories, history and cutting-edge science - Ocean uncovers the mystery, the wonder and the frailty of the most unexplored habitat on our planet.And it shows its remarkable resilience: it is the part of our world that can, and in some cases has, recovered the fastest, and in our lifetimes we could see a fully restored marine world, even richer and more spectacular than we could possibly hope, if we act now. It is a book almost a century in the making, but one that has never been more urgently needed.

This book explores the history of wildlife television in post-war Britain. It revolves around the role of David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has shaped British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of Attenborough’s professional biography and also explores elements of the institutional history of the BBC—from the early 1960s, when it was at its most powerful, to the 2000s, when its future is uncertain. It focuses primarily on the wildlife ‘making-of’ documentary genre, which is used to trace how television progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge about nature. With the inclusion of analysis of television programmes, first-hand accounts, BBC archival material and, most notably, interviews with David Attenborough, this volume follows the development of the professional culture of wildlife broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of interest to wildlife television amateurs, historians of British television and students in science communication.

Having firmly established the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in the novels A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was retained by The Strand Magazine to contribute a series of twelve short stories, which began with ''A Scandal in Bohemia'' in 1891 and were published monthly for the next year. The stories, in which the master sleuth receives a stream of clients presenting him with baffling and bizarre mysteries in his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, were instantly popular and by the time of the publication of the final story, ''The Copper Beeches'', they had become the mainstay of the magazine. They included such classic tales as ''The Five Orange Pips'' and ''The Adventure of the Speckled Band'', and were gathered together in a collection known as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, representing some of the finest detective stories ever written.
