LIVING PLANET - DAVID ATTENBOROUGH KARTONIERT (TB)

The Sunday Times Bestseller A 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.
