内容简介

《星期日泰晤士报》畅销书 "对于任何想要像老式冒险家一样代入旅行并试图了解我们在发展对野生动物的保护态度方面已经取得了多大进展的人来说，这是一本伟大的书。 1954年，一位名叫大卫·爱登堡的年轻电视节目主持人获得了一生中极重要的机会--到世界各地为伦敦动物园的收藏品寻找稀有和难以捉摸的动物，并为BBC拍摄这些探险活动。”

现在，"全球生态系统伟大的倡导者"，这是开始这一切的航行的故事。在圭亚那寻找巨型食蚁兽、在印度尼西亚寻找科莫多龙、在巴拉圭寻找犰狳时，他和团队其他成员与食人鱼、好斗的树豪猪和逃跑的野猪，以及险恶的地形和不可预测的天气作斗争，以记录这些地区不可思议的美丽和生物多样性。这些方法现在可能已经过时，但对野生动物、人民和环境的迷恋和尊重--以及保护这些野生地方的重要性--却没有过时。

《大卫·爱登堡自然行记》以其标志性的机智和魅力写成，不仅是一个非凡的冒险故事，而且是一个让我们爱上自然世界的人的故事，而且他今天仍然在这样做。

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'A great book for anyone who wants to vicariously travel like an old-fashioned adventurer and seeks to understand how far we have come in developing a protective attitude to wildlife' New York Times'A marvellous book ... unputdownable ... utterly engaging' TelegraphIn 1954, a young television presenter named David Attenborough was offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for London Zoo's collection, and to film the expeditions for the BBC.

Now 'the greatest living advocate of the global ecosystem' this is the story of the voyages that started it all. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team battled with cannibal fish, aggressive tree porcupines and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. The methods may be outdated now, but the fascination and respect for the wildlife, the people and the environment - and the importance of protecting these wild places - is not.

Written with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world, and who is still doing so today.
