The Living Planet

In The Living Planet, David Attenborough examines the dynamic physical changes on Earth—such as mountains eroding, rivers shifting, and continental drift—and how living organisms adapt to these transformations across varied habitats from the Himalayas to ocean depths and cities.

Drawing from his BBC television series, the book highlights extraordinary adaptations, the complexity of ecosystems, and human impacts on the natural world.

Updated editions include recent ecological discoveries, discussions on climate change, pollution, and species extinction.
