Rakastetun luontodokumentaristin tutkimusmatka ihmeellisiin valtameriin.Sir David Attenborough vie meidät matkalle häikäisevän monimuotoisiin valtameriimme napamerten jääkylmistä syvyyksistä korallisaarten elämää pursuaviin kirkkaisiin vesiin.Valtameret kertoo planeettamme viimeisistä koskemattomista ekosysteemeistä ja niiden keskeisestä roolista elämän ylläpitäjänä ja ilmaston säätelijänä. Attenborough esittelee yhdessä Colin Butfieldin kanssa kahdeksan ainutlaatuista merellistä elinympäristöä ja niiden uskomattoman monipuolista elämää. Kirja juhlistaa luonnon hämmästyttävää kykyä toipua ja paljastaa valtamerten kauneuden ja herkkyyden.

Evening Standard 'THIS IS THE STORY OF OUR OCEAN AND WE MUST WRITE ITS NEXT CHAPTER TOGETHER. FOR IF WE SAVE THE SEA, WE SAVE OUR WORLD. AFTER A LIFETIME OF FILMING OUR PLANET, I'M SURE THAT NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT.' From the icy seas of our poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough has filmed in every ocean habitat on planet earth. Now, with long-term collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of our last great wilderness - the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe. Dive into eight unique saltwater habitats, swim through kelp forests, mangroves and coral reefs and down almost 11,000 feet to the deepest corners of the most unexplored ecosystem on our planet. Experience a journey of wonder and discovery, populated by green turtles and blue whales; clownfish and bioluminescent jellyfish; the vampire squid and the 'head-less chicken monster' - a strange form of sea cucumber that lives at the very bottom of the ocean. With the warmth, intelligence and awe that characterises all of David Attenborough's landmark series, Ocean shows us a world which is both desperately fragile yet astonishingly resilient, with an extraordinary capacity to repair itself. It's not too late to restore our most vital habitat. If we treat it with respect, our marine world will be even richer and more spectacular than we can imagine. A book almost a century in the making, but one that has never been more urgently needed.

It's easy to question our significance... What is our place in all of this? What is our purpose? What is our story? Our Story is both an awe-inspiring celebration of the natural world, and a journey through the extraordinary story of our own species. There are billions of planets in the universe. The vast majority are lifeless worlds. Once upon a time Earth was just another among them - unstable, hostile. But unlike all the other planets of which we have knowledge, Earth's story has other chapters, and those chapters were written by life... For millennia the human story was just another amongst many plotlines in the great narrative of life on Earth. We were the cleverest species to have ever lived, yet the restlessness of the world around us kept our numbers small. Until something remarkable happened. With stunning imagery and poetic script, Our Story immerses readers in the most important story of them all and provides a totally new way of looking at our species at just the moment it is urgently needed. As Sir David Attenborough says in the show: 'It's tempting to focus on the faults of humankind, to think of ourselves as a parasite on this beautiful planet. But after a long life exploring our world, that is not the way I see our story. Instead, I see us as the ultimate problem solvers; smart enough to achieve anything we put our dazzling minds to. That, indeed, is our superpower. So let us use it for good!' Sir David Attenborough For in the vastness of space, the unimaginable extents of time, only you can help write the next chapter of Earth's story.

Från de iskalla haven vid våra poler till avlägsna korallöar - David Attenborough har filmat i alla havsmiljöer på planeten jorden. Nu berättar han historien om vår sista stora vildmark - den som formar marken vi lever på, reglerar vårt klimat och skapar luften vi andas. Dyk ner i åtta unika saltvattensmiljöer, simma genom kelpskogar, mangroveskogar och korallrev och ner nästan 11 000 meter till de djupaste hörnen av det mest outforskade ekosystemet på vår planet. Läsaren bjuds på en förunderlig resa och möten med gröna sköldpaddor och blåvalar; clownfiskar och bioluminiscerande maneter; ”vampyrbläckfisken” och ”det huvudlösa kycklingmonstret” - en märklig form av sjögurka som lever på havets botten. Med den värme, skärpa och vördnad som kännetecknar alla David Attenboroughs banbrytande tv-produktioner visar Havet oss en värld som både är skör och förvånansvärt motståndskraftig, med en extraordinär förmåga att reparera sig själv. Det är inte för sent att återställa vår mest vitala livsmiljö. "Jag har haft turen att leva i nästan hundra år. Under denna tid har vi förändrat havet så fundamentalt att de kommande hundra åren antingen kommer att bevittna en massutrotning av livet i havet eller en spektakulär återhämtning. Jag kommer inte att få se hur den historien slutar, men efter en livstid av utforskande av vår planet är jag fortfarande övertygad om att ju fler människor som förstår naturen och dess väv, desto större är vårt hopp om att rädda både den och oss själva."

David Attenborough har filmet i alle verdens havhabitater, fra de iskalde polhavene til fjerntliggende koralløyer. Nå deler han sammen med sin langvarige samarbeispartner Colin Butfield historien om vår siste store villmark - den som former landjorden vi lever på, regulerer klimaet og skaper luften vi puster inn.Dykk ned i åtte unike saltvannshabitater, svøm gjennom tareskoger, mangrover og korallrev og ned til nesten 11 000 meter, til de dypeste avgrunner i jordklodens minst utforskede økosystem.Bli med på en reise full av undring og oppdagelser, med grønne skilpadder og blåhval, klovnefiske og lysende maneter, asiatisk smalahove og jordbærblekksprut, som med sitt store gule og mindre blå øye er et sjeldent eksempel på usymmetrisek øyne i naturen.Havet viser oss, med den samme varmen, intelligensen og ærefrykten som preger alle David Attenboroughs banebrytende TV-serier, en verden som både er fortvilende sårbar og bemerkelsesverdig motstandsdyktig, med en imponerende evne til å reparere seg selv. Det er ikke for sent å restaurere vårt mest livsviktige habitat. Hvis vi behandler det med respekt, vil livet i havet bli enda mer rikholdig og spektakulært enn vi kan forestille oss.

The Earthshot concept is simple: Urgency + Optimism = Action. We have ten years to turn the tide on the environmental crisis, but we need the world's best solutions and one shared goal - to save our planet.It's not too late, but we need collective action now. The Earthshots are unifying, ambitious goals for our planet which, if achieved by 2030, will improve life for all of us, for the rest of life on Earth, and for generations to come.They are to:· Protect and Restore Nature· Clean our Air· Revive our Oceans· Build a Waste-Free World· Fix our ClimateEARTHSHOT: HOW TO SAVE OUR PLANET is the first definitive book about how these goals can tackle the environmental crisis, from rainforests to coral reefs, via wilderness, cities and in our own homes. It is a critical contribution to the most important story of the decade.
