Critics Review

Praise for the New Edition of Life on Earth:

‘It does not disappoint. The new Life on Earth is as glorious as the first’ Guardian

‘A beautiful and wide ranging work. The breadth of natural history covered is extraordinary and mesmerising. Life on Earth is still breathtakingly rich, and we would know far less about it were it not for Attenborough’s wonderful skills of communication over the years: our cultural and scientific lives would be poorer without him’ New Scientist

‘This natural history masterpiece offers a spectacular snapshot of a once-wild planet’ New Scientist

Praise for David Attenborough:

‘A marvellous book … unputdownable … utterly engaging’ Telegraph

‘An elegant and gently funny writer’ The Times

‘His writing is as impressive and as enjoyable as his TV programmes and there can be no higher praise’ Daily Express

‘A great educator as well as a great naturalist’ Barack Obama

‘Sir David is a wizard of television, and, like Gandalf or Dumbledore, he has a near-magical gift for combining warmth and gravitas … the man who, for me, exemplifies the best in British broadcasting’ Louis Theroux

‘When I was a young boy I used to love turning on the television and watching David’s programmes and really feeling like I was either back out in Africa or I was learning about something magical and almost out of this planet’ HRH Prince William
