As a study of animal behaviour it has great importance, and as an example of a near perfect relationship between man and animal it is unique.The story begins when George Adamson, a Senior Game Warden in Kenya, brings back three motherless lion cubs to his wife Joy. One of them, Elsa, was destined to become the heroine of a modern classic on wildlife.Reared by Adamson in an atmosphere of mutual respect and never treated as a pet. Elsa the lion cub shared the Adamson's lives for three years. Then the couple attempted an experiment which had never before succeeded - they decided that Elsa ought to return to the freedom to which she was born.

In good condition - Vintage - has markings from use - has slight yellowing to front & end pages - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Nowhere on our planet is devoid of life. Plants, animals and man thrive or survive within the extremes of climate and almost infinite variety of domicile which 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. The adaptations are sometimes extraordinary: fish which walk or lay eggs on leaves in mid-air, snakes that fly; flightless birds that graze like deer; and bears which grow hair on the soles of their feet.In The Living Planet, based on his BBC television series, David Attenborough's searching eye, unfailing curiousity and infectious enthuriasm, explain and illuminate the intricate lives of these colonies - from the lonely heights of the Himalayas to the wild creatures which have established themselves in the most recent of environments,…
