AMAZING! 1 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
With its bold and all-encompassing title, and following as the latest in a line of BBC's spectacular nature programmes, 'Life' had a lot to live up to. Luckily, it does not disappoint! This book provides the perfect accompaniment for the TV programme, providing a more in-depth account of the animals shown in the programme. It is filled with stunning photography and fascinating descriptions of the remarkable and peculiar ways in which various species have adapted to their unique circumstances. As you read through, you truly are left with a sense of awe at the complexities and delicate balances that exist in the world that we live in. A must for anyone with an interest in...Life!

Super book 8 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
I picked up a copy of this book after watching the BBC series, and it doesn't disappoint! Not only is the photography really breathtaking, but it reveals some of the most amazing, and often bizarre, creatures in the world today. From extraordinary Sea Creatures which look like they belong to another world, to giant almost prehistoric lizards, to fantastic big eyed marsupials that are so cute you want to take them home, this book has something to please everyone. Perfect present for anyone who likes Natural History and/or amazing photography!

A visual treat 1 Dec 2009
By KB36
Format:Hardcover
'Life' is a stunning visual treat which both adults and children in our household have been unable to put down. The photography is vibrant and the accompanying text is balanced to inform without overloading readers both young and old. This is now on my Christmas list for several family members and friends as it is a delight for all.
