David Attenborough's Life On Land - A DVD Encyclopaedia (DVD, Boxed set)


Twenty years ago, David Attenborough started making a series of programmes about the different groups of living organisms that inhabit the lands of our planet û birds and mammals, plants and insects, amphibians and reptiles. He looked at the history of each one from its first appearance and surveyed the multitude of different forms into which it now involved. Includes: 'Life in the Undergrowth', 'The Private Life of Plants', 'Life in Cold Blood', 'The Life of Birds', 'The Life of Mammals' and 'First Eden'.

These landmark series now form David Attenborough'ss Life on Land Collection and are brought to you here in the order in which these various groups arrived during the history of life.

To accompany these series is an index û which can be accessed interactively on each of the discs and is also included in this collection as a hard-backed book. You can use the index to look up a species and find not only on which disc (or discs) it appears, but by clicking on its name, summon it to your screen. You can also use the same method to find examples of particular aspects of natural history, such as mimicry and camouflage, aggression or courtship.

So now you have at your fingertips a 40-hour long panorama of the living world as it exists today at the beginning of the 21st Century.
