Just as described

What is there to say. It's David Attenborough. That should say enough. The man is a cornerstone for those in my generation that got an interest in natural history.

Fantastic book.

Although I am a great fan of the amazon kindle,for some books you need a hard copy.David Attenborough is so knowledgeable and very interesting.The quality of photography is superb.I will really treasure this book.
