Travel to the other half of the world

Born in the mid-1950s, after the success of A Young Scientist’s Stories of Zoo Collectibles, young David Attenborough embarked on new journeys in the early 1960s. This time, he will visit Madagascar, New Guinea and the Pacific, as well as the Northern Territory of Australia, with his film crew. Reading about his adventurous travels, we get to know the tower jumpers of the island of Pentecost, the ancient royal cavem ceremony of Tonga, among others, as well as special animals such as birds of paradise, chameleons and sifacas. Equipped with ample imagery and maps, the volume deserves to enchant its reader with its witty, light-hearted and overflowing storytelling style.
