At age 94 (now 100!), Britain's beloved natural history filmmaker, reflects on his time spent in nature. Attenborough claims that as a young man he felt like he was 'experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion'. Over his lifetime, he has been witness to the decline of the planet's wild places and its biodiversity. Attenborough remains hopeful in this book, however, claiming all we need to have in order to restore our home and wonderful world 'is the will to do so'. Item #76532
