Living Planet: The Web Of Life On Earth

Beskrivelse

Discover the incredible diversity of life across every corner of our planet in this fully updated edition of David Attenborough's classic work, The Living Planet. From icy tundras to bustling cities, life finds a way to thrive in the most extreme environments.

An exploration of Earth's remarkable ecosystems and the extraordinary adaptations of its inhabitants.

In The Living Planet, David Attenborough takes you on a journey through the vast range of habitats that cover Earth, showing how plants and animals have evolved to survive and flourish in each unique setting. Whether it’s fish that can walk or lay eggs on leaves suspended in the air, snakes that glide through the sky, flightless birds grazing like deer, or bears growing hair on the soles of their feet, the natural world is full of astonishing adaptations.

Attenborough’s keen observations, boundless curiosity, and infectious enthusiasm bring to life the complex relationships between species and their environments. From the towering heights of the Himalayas to the urban wildlife carving out a niche in cities, the book reveals the delicate web of life that connects all living things.

This revised edition includes the latest findings in ecology and biology, thanks to contributions from zoologist Matthew Cobb. It also features a vibrant 64-page full-colour photography section and tackles pressing challenges such as climate change, pollution, and the widespread loss of species, making it both a celebration of life and a call to action to protect our planet.
