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.

WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY DARA McANULTYTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER''His writing is as impressive and as enjoyable as his TV programmes and there can be no higher praise'' Daily Express''A marvellous book . . . unputdownable . . . utterly engaging'' Daily TelegraphIn 1954, a young television presenter named David Attenborough 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.Now ''the greatest living advocate of the global ecosystem'' this is the story of the voyages that started it all. 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.** Praise for Sir David Attenborough **''A great educator as well as a great naturalist'' Barack Obama''Sir David is a wizard of television, and, like Gandalf or Dumbledore, he has a near-magical gift for combining warmth and gravitas . . . the man who, for me, exemplifies the best in British broadcasting'' Louis Theroux''When I was a young boy I used to love turning on the television and watching David''s programmes and really feeling like I was either back out in Africa or I was learning about something magical and almost out of this planet'' Prince William

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.

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.

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 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. He also addresses the urgent issues facing our living planet: climate change, pollution and mass extinction of species.

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.
