Description
The last authored title by the legendary naturalist
A book that has been in the making for nearly a hundred years
Released on the 99th birthday of Sir David Attenborough
"I am fortunate to have lived for almost a hundred years. During this time, we have learned more about the ocean than at any other point in human history. Oceanography has revealed natural wonders that a boy in the 1930s could not even imagine... and we have changed the world's oceans so much that in the next 100 years we will either witness a mass extinction of its life or a magnificent recovery.
I will not find out how this story ends. However, after spending my entire life exploring our planet, I remain convinced that the more people understand nature and find joy in it, the greater our hope of saving it and ourselves."
David Attenborough has filmed in all of the planet's oceanic habitats, from icy seas at the poles to remote coral reefs. He now shares the story of the last great wilderness that shapes the land we live on, regulates the climate, and creates the air we breathe, with his long-time collaborator Colin Butfield.
Dive into eight unique habitats…
