The third volume in David Attenborough's Life trilogy tackles ethology, the study of how animals behave, and why. Observing that all organisms are ultimately concerned with passing on their genes to the next generation, the well-illustrated volume looks at the conduct of a wide range of species in relation to eating, reproduction, fighting and other shared traits.
The third and final updated edition of David Attenborough's classic Life trilogy. Life on Earth covered evolution, Living Planet , ecology, and now The Trials of Life tackles ethology, the study of how animals behave.
'This is, quite simply, the best thing I've ever done.' Sir David Attenborough on the TV series, The Trials of Life, upon which this book is based.
This is the third and last of Sir David's great natural history books based on his TV series and competes his survey of the animal world that began with Life on Earth and continues with Living Planet.
In Life on Earth, Sir David showed how each group of animals evolved. In Living Planet he looked at the way they have adapted to the whole range of habitats in which they live. Now, in Trials of Life, he completes the story by revealing how animals behave - and why.
