One of the things that struck me about Attenborough in these films was how active he was - abseiling up and down huge trees, ascending thousands of metres into the air in balloons, becoming weightless inside rapidly descending aircraft. Highlights for me included Life on Earth, The Living Planet, the Life Of Mammals and Planet Earth (2006) - although there are many other gems among this collection, such as the Trials of Life, Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives and Life in the Freezer. The book is very concise, easy to follow (although at times it can get a little technical) and really, just fun to read. As has been mentioned in earlier reviews, the photography is stunning. The film makers seemed to be on amazing endeavor of knowledge, curiosity, learning and understanding. The Blue Planet - Seas of Life is the companion book to the BBC documentary of the same name. Planet Earth / The Blue Planet: Seas of Life - Special Collectors Set (DVD) BBC natural history producer Alastair Fothergill spent the last ten years producing two of the most stunningly beautiful series ever created, The Blue Planet: Seas of Life and Planet Earth. I appreciate the honesty that's on display here - particularly with the older films. This deserves a lot more praise, credit and much more attention than it's been given. Profoundly beautiful and, at times sometimes seemingly cruel. One of the most important, fascinating, thought provoking and educational series of films ever made. David Attenborough narrates a natural history of the oceans, exploring the richest waters on Earth, where the annual cycle of the sun drives an explosion of life.
