Sir David Attenborough: A Man to be Admired

Of all the people in the world, Sir David Attenborough would have to be one that I admire and look up to most. Not only is he an example of someone who has crossed zoology and journalism to form one of the best jobs in the world, but he is a man of great integrity and honesty. For over five decades he has appeared on our tv, introducing us to some astonishing features of the natural world and giving audiences an appreciation for the world around us. Some of his most significant works include:
  • Life on Earth (1979)
  • The Living Planet (1984)
  • The Trials of Life (1990)
  • The Private Life of Plants (1995)
  • The Life of Birds (1998)
  • The Life of Mammals (2002)
  • Life in the Undergrowth (2005)
His list of published books is even more extensive. Instead of waffling on about Attenborough's career I will simply post a link to his website below for those who might be interested in reading more about his amazing life. http://www.davidattenborough.co.uk/biography/


I'd also like to put up Sir David Attenborough's interview with Andrew Denton, who I believe is one of the best interviewers around.
