* David Attenborough - Life on Earth and other works (10 books)
DAVID ATTENBOROUGH (b. 1926) is an English broadcaster, biologist, natural historian and author. He is widely considered a national treasure in the UK, although he himself does not like the term.
Attenborough's television credits span eight decades and his association with natural history programmes dates back to "The Pattern of Animals" and "Zoo Quest" in the early 1950s. He subsequently wrote (and narrated) a succession of award-winning television programs on anthropology and natural history. His most influential work, LIFE ON EARTH (1979), launched a strand of nine authored documentaries with the BBC Natural History Unit forming the "Life" collection, a comprehensive survey of animal and plant life on Earth.
Attenborough's work as an author has strong parallels with his broadcasting career. In the 1950s and 1960s, his published work included accounts of his animal collecting expeditions around the world, which became the "Zoo Quest" series. He wrote an accompanying volume to each of his nine Life documentaries, along with books on tribal art and birds of paradise. His bestselling LIFE ON AIR: Memoirs of a Broadcaster (2002) was revised and updated in 2009.
While Attenborough's earlier work focused more on the wonders of the natural world, his later work has been more vocal in support of environmental causes. He has advocated for restoring planetary biodiversity, limiting population growth, switching to renewable energy, mitigating climate change, reducing meat consumption, and setting aside more areas for natural preservation. In 2019, the BBC broadcast his documentary on climate change in which he warned that the failure to act could lead to "the collapse of our societies." A LIFE ON OUR PLANET (2020) was described as his "witness statement."
