Ever since 1907 we’ve been fascinated by watching the natural world on the television. For a hundred years, wildlife films have taken us to places and shown us things we would never be able to see in our everyday life. The book brings together the excitement, drama, strangeness and danger observed in the natural world. From famous faces of wildlife TV to extraordinary animal and plant behaviour, natural history filming has changed the way we look at, and think about our world. It’s all here: so weird you couldn’t make it up, and so wonderful, you wouldn’t want to miss it.
