The third and final updated edition of David Attenborough's classic Life trilogy. Life on Earth covered evolution, Living Planet explored ecology, and now The Trials of Life tackles ethology, the study of how animals behave.
This is the third and last of Sir David's great natural history books based on his TV series and completes his survey of the animal world that began with Life on Earth and continued with Living Planet. In Life on Earth, Sir David showed how each group of animals evolved. In Living Planet he looked at the way they have adapted to the whole range of habitats in which they live. Now, in The Trials of Life, he completes the story by revealing how animals behave – and why.
'This is, quite simply, the best thing I've ever done,' Sir David Attenborough said of the TV series upon which this book is based.
