5.0

An exciting and indepth look it how life on earth begins, survives and passes on its knowledge to the next generation, this book looks at the different adaptations, skills and methods used by species and species groups to survive and pass on its genes. Attenborough takes the reader through life chapter by chapter revealing the different styles and methods used for each with descriptive and readable language without losing any of the drama or knowledge that comes with it. This book covers everything from communicating, mating and birth to feeding, hunting and finding shelter. The photography is superb and supports the text brilliantly and brings Attenborough's words to life. An utterly enthralling read, whether your a natural world beginner, expert or in between.

Dnf halfway through

Not a bad book it’s just that now I know that books about animals don’t do well with me. I prefer them under the form of documentary.
