The frozen wastes of the Southern Ocean; the tropical rainforests of South America the scorching grasslands of Africa the dizzy heights of the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas: Martin Hughes-Games has been to every continent on earth filming natural history programmes. A Wild Life is Martin''s personal account of his astonishing adventures around the world both as a presenter for the BBC and a producer of nature documentaries. We all know Martin as a member of Springwatch and Autumnwatch team but before his presenting days he spent many years behind the camera producing up-close-and-personal wildlife documentaries on location often in perilous conditions. During a career spanning more than three decades he has captured the extraordinary life and diversity of the animal kingdom on film - from bloodthirsty bats and man-eating tigers to huge elephant seals and tiny but ever so painful centipedes. Warmly told with humour and an inimitable style and packed with insightful facts from the natural world - how fast is the fastest creature on earth the peregrine falcon? How high can a bird the bar headed goose on migration really fly? - A Wild Life has to be one of the natural history books of the year. . Language: English
