Where’s Attenborough?
Author:
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 1922417025
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This interactive book is an illustrated game of hide and seek, where the reader must track down Sir David Attenborough on each page. Since 1954, Sir David Attenborough has been gracing our TV screens to educate and celebrate the animal and natural worlds. In those nearly 70 years of broadcasting and documentary making, Attenborough became a national treasure in the United Kingdom and attained near-mythical status the world over. We only need to hear a word or two uttered, before we recognize David Attenborough's iconic voice. But, in this brightly illustrated book, we'll have to find him by sight and by sheer willpower. On each page in this book, drawn by artist Maxim Usik, Attenborough is lying in wait. You'll have to find him as he dives into the ocean, wades through wetlands and hides in the long grasses of the savannah - all the time keeping a watchful eye out for some of our world's, most incredible - and endangered - wildlife. There's no better way to celebrate an international icon (and perhaps stop and think about conservation along the way).

Conquering the Desert of Death
Author: Charles Blackmore
Publisher: I.B. Tauris
ISBN: 9781845115821
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The ferocious Taklamakan desert in Central Asia, one of the largest sandy deserts in the world and the harshest on earth, is known by the Chinese as the "desert of death" or the "place of no return." Its unknown depths are said to be haunted by demons and spirits and legend has it that ancient cities filled with treasure lie lost and buried beneath its dunes. The only certainty is that no human being in history had ever crossed it from end to end. But, after five years of planning, in 1993, Charles Blackmore together with a team of British, Chinese and Uyghurs and a caravan of thirty camels, set out to accomplish the seemingly impossible: they would cross the Taklamakan, west to east, directly through its unmapped, untrodden centre. Conquering the Desert of Death is at once a deeply personal journey and the story of an adventure that will go down in history as one of the great achievements of exploration.
