A collection of essays on writers and writing by the Booker-shortlisted novelist and critic.Writing about real lives takes various forms, which overlap and may be combined with each other: biography, autobiography, biographical criticism, biographical fiction, memoir, confession, diary. In these thoughtful and enlightening essays David Lodge considers some particularly interesting examples of life-writing, and contributes several of his own. The subjects include celebrated modern British writers such as Graham Greene, Kingsley Amis, Muriel Spark and Alan Bennett, and two major figures from the past, Anthony Trollope and H.G.Wells. Lodge examines connections between the style and the man in the diaries of the playwright Simon Gray and the cultural criticism of Terry Eagleton, and recalls how his own literary career was entwined with that of his friend Malcolm Bradbury. All except one of the subjects (Princess Diana) are or were themselves professionally “in writing”, making this collection a kind of casebook of the splendours and miseries of authorship. In a final essay Lodge describes the genesis and compositional method of his recent novel about H.G.Wells, A Man of Parts, and engages with the critical controversies that have been provoked by the increasing popularity of narrative and dramatic writing that combines fact ...

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.

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.

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.

The Sunday Times BestsellerA 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 ...

While there are plenty of land law textbooks on the market, there is, in general, an absence of critical texts designed for law students to deepen their understanding of the subject. Great Debates in Land Law provides students with the contextual and critical aspects of this exciting topic. Each chapter introduces topics for debate such as “Is tenancy a property or a personal right?” and goes on to include features such as boxed discursive notes from the authors, important cases and suggestions for further reading.The Great Debates series provides engaging and accessible analysis of the more advanced legal concepts. For books in the major taught subjects, such as land law, the series is designed for use by ambitious students alongside a main course textbook. For books addressing subjects that are less often taught (such as family law), the series provides a clear and critical exposition of the key areas of debate. By focussing on particular questions and tensions underlying a subject, Great Debates titles encourage students to think critically, analyse a topic and gain additional insights. These skills and the discursive nature of the series, with an emphasis on contentious topics, are also useful for students when preparing their dissertations.
