The life of mammals – David Attenborough
From the under-snow tunnels of Arctic lemmings, to the egg nests of the bizarre Australian echidna, and the subways of major cities, this extraordinary book takes us into the homes and lives of some of Earth's most fascinating animals.
The life of mammals – David Attenborough |
£ 19.99 |
Published in conjunction with the ten-part television series, The Life of Mammals shows the beauty and immense variety of mammals. David Attenborough treks across every continent and terrain to introduce us to such unusual and evolutionarily successful creatures as the Patagonian opossum, the Canadian pygmy shrew, the Alpine marmot, and the Malaysian sun bear.
Along the way, Attenborough considers how evolution has shaped mammalian habits, for example leading herbivorous sea cows to take to the water and humans to commence agriculture.
The book contains more than 200 spectacular colour photographs and will gratify anyone intrigued by the natural world. Natural history at its finest.
