First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original khaki cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Bruce Coleman illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with mild bumping to the extremities, the contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the mildly creased dustwrapper that has an area of scuffing to the rear panel with subsequent lifting of the laminate and is otherwise free from fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£12 net to the front flap).
Inscribed by the beloved author, broadcaster and biologist in blue ink on the half title 'to David / David Attenborough'. Accompanying the BBC television series of the same name, this book examines how life has adapted to survive in every environment on earth.
