书籍简介

世界上受欢迎的自然历史广播员以其魅力、博学、幽默和激情，记录了他从1950年代末开始的一些探险活动。

在一开始的《探索动物园》探险活动取得成功之后，年轻的大卫·爱登堡开始了在世界不同地区的进一步旅行。

从马达加斯加和新几内亚到太平洋群岛和澳大利亚北领地，他和他的摄影师同伴不仅要记录野生动物，还要记录这些地区的一些原住民的生活方式，这些人的传统以前从未被大多数英国公众所接触过。

从五旬岛的陆地潜水员和新几内亚的歌唱，到汤加的皇家卡瓦仪式和北领地的古老艺术，这是一次与众不同的旅行。除了这些非凡的文化，他还在地球上一些特别的环境中遇到了天堂鸟、变色龙、西法卡和许多其他动物。

《到世界另一边旅行》以大卫·爱登堡特有的魅力、幽默和温暖写成，是一次人类、大地和野生动物之间的冒险。

Following the success of the original Zoo Quest expeditions, the young David Attenborough embarked on further travels in a very different part of the world.

From Madagascar and New Guinea to the Pacific Islands and the Northern Territory of Australia, he and his cameraman companion were aiming to record not just the wildlife, but the way of life of some of the indigenous people of these regions, whose traditions had never been encountered by most of the British public before.

From the land divers of Pentecost Island and the sing-sings of New Guinea, to a Royal Kava ceremony on Tonga and the ancient art of the Northern Territory, it is a journey like no other. Alongside these remarkable cultures he encounters paradise birds, chameleons, sifakas and many more animals in some of the most unique environments on the planet.

Written with David Attenborough's characteristic charm, humour and warmth, Journeys to the Other Side of the World is an inimitable adventure among people, places and the wildest of wildlife.

作者简介

大卫·爱登堡（1926~）是英国博物学家。爱登堡就读于剑桥克莱尔学院，学习动物学和地质学并于1947年取得硕士学位。1947年至1949年间，从皇家海军取得上尉军衔后，爱登堡做了三年的出版编辑助理，于1952年加入英国广播公司（BBC），成为一名电视制片人培训生。爱登堡推出了一个名为《探索动物园》（Zoo Quest）的BBC节目，向人们展示自然界中的动物。节目的站一就是西非，此后，爱登堡开始对热带地区感兴趣。在他用十多年的时间制作的48集节目中，为了拍摄处于自然栖息地中的野生生物，他考察了很多偏僻地区。爱登堡撰写并拍摄上映了《活着的星球》(1984) （The Living Planet）；《生命的审判》(1990) （The Trials of Life）；《植物的私生活》(1995) （The Private Life of Plants）；以及《鸟类的生活》(1998) （The Life of Birds）。爱登堡还写了很多他的电视系列剧的配套图书，包括：《部落的眼睛》(The Tribal Eye)（1976），《动物园探索》(The Zoo Quest Expeditions)（1982），以及《活着的星球》（The Living Planet）（1984）。《爱登堡的地球生活：自然历史》(Attenborough's Life on Earth: A Natural History)（1979）成为畅销书，并被译成18种语言。
