Living Planet: A new, fully updated edition of David Attenborough’s seminal portrait of life on Earth

Product Information

Polynesians reached Hawaii well over a thousand years ago, and their sea-going culture enabled them to reach many Pacific islands, including Easter Island, where they carved the moai, and New Zealand: the ancestors of the Māori.

When water reaches such areas, it loses its impetus and drops its sediment, potentially making it very fertile.

olive green covers with bright gilt lettering to the spine, smart covers, square, secure binding, pages bright and clean, very good + condition. Mussels keep their shells closed at low tide to deter attackers but the oystercatcher is adept at dealing with them. The great peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri that a few days back you glimpsed through gaps in the canopy of rhododendrons as white shining pyramids several miles above are now behind you.

One of the loveliest of the cats, it has a thick creamy coat, rosetted with grey, and cushions of hair on the soles of its paws which protect them from the rough stones and from the cold. Somewhat shy and not always easy to film in his natural habitat, we're lucky here to see the David Attenborough at work on his latest and greatest project, The Living Planet.

Ahead, the ramparts of snow are falling towards a brown streak on the horizon that is the high, dry, half-frozen plain of Tibet.
