From hobnobbing with Orangs in Camp Leakey, Borneo, pursuing minke whales in the icy cold waters in Antarctica, perilously exploring the territory of a prehistoric-looking Shoebill bird that has just hatched its eggs, giving his imposing narration to the extraordinary event of grizzlies catching the salmons in Alaska, to the exquisite videos of polar bears foraging and hunting for walruses off the coasts of Arctic, Sir David Attenborough has been doing stellar service to generations of viewers like myself who were fortunate to get a glimpse of the unique world that nature hides within its mysterious bosom. Deep, dark Amazonian forests, the teal waters of beaches in the Aleutian Islands, the white frozen wilderness of Arctic and Antarctic have all become so eerily familiar to the common man because of the incredible service Sir Attenborough has done throughout his life as a broadcaster, writer, and a self-made naturalist. This book is an unofficial account of the legendary naturalist Sir Attenborough and his 50 years of service as a broadcaster. When Sir Attenborough narrated in his sonorous voice, the audience sat riveted to the television to watch one of Nature's most spectacular cheek-by-jowl dance of death between the prey and its enemy in the water- the sardine rush. He brought the wildlife to our homes and he has been doing it for more than 50 years now. From his first show as a co-host to the latest Netflix series A Life on Our Planet, if there is something that remains unchanged, it is his passion for the wildlife. Read the world's most fascinating phenomenon ever to be captured by mankind, rendered in a unique style of narration.
