We travel north of the border into bonnie Scotland with our irrepressibly enthusiastic narrator and naturalist, David Bellamy. He explores from ground and air the natural environments of Britain's premier wilderness landscapes: the Peak District, our first National Park; the dramatic Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland; and the North Pennines, the wild 'backbone' of Britain. In his enthusiastic company we enter a world of wild heather and open water, high mountains, ancient settlements and deep forests with the odd bit of bog and marsh. Stories abound with adventurous spirits, of old mole catchers and reed cutters, ghosts and wolves, of lost warriors and battlegrounds, blood-drinking ravens and stone-worshipping priests, and a glorious company of singers and heroes - Wordsworth and Brooke, King Arthur, Wallace and Montrose. Along the way David meets some of the people responsible for managing our remaining wilderness areas and the resources we reap from them, and some who still make their livelihood within them. A breath-taking journey, 92 minute colour film.

A companion to Himself and Other Animals code 91984 we have a 51 minute colour and black and white film on DVD. Bridges that nearly collapsed as they were crossed, ancient ferries which ran a 'sometime-this-week' schedule, were just a couple of the problems which Gerald and Lee Durrell faced on their expedition in Madagascar. They were looking for one of the world's rarest creatures, the Aye-Aye. The plan was to set up a captive-breeding programme in a bid to save this strange species of lemur from following the Dodo into extinction. After weeks of trekking through the rainforest without seeing any Aye-Aye, the local witch-doctor was called in to help, but first he had to talk to his ancestors. Bargain price.

The founder of the Christmas Lectures from the Royal Institution, the influential British scientist Michael Faraday might have been surprised not only by the topics covered, but to know that the Lectures he began continue today and reach so many people worldwide and online. The first book in the series covered the solar system. This volume sets off to explore the living wonders of our own planet and has an introduction by Richard Attenborough. A succession of eminent speakers has filled the Lecture Theatre with a teeming array of furry animals, luxuriant plants, squawking birds, crawling insects and many more besides as they unlock the greatest secrets of life on Earth. The book begins in the early 20th century when studies of the living world were gradually shifting away from a descriptive discipline preoccupied mainly with finding and naming species, towards the modern science of ecology, and how creatures interact with each other and their environment, forming an intricate web of life. Each Lecture consisted of between three and six hour long talks and the aim of the book is to give a flavour of the most exciting discoveries and ideas discussed. They include The Childhood of Animals by Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell 1911, Concerning the Habits of Insects by Francis Balfour-Browne 1924, Rare Animals and the Disappearance of Wild Life by Sir Julian Huxley 1937, How Animals Move Sir James Grey 1951, Animal Behaviour Desmond Morris 1964, The Languages of Animals David Attenborough 1973, Growing Up In the Universe Richard Dawkins 1991, To the End of the Earth: Surviving Antarctic Extremes Lloyd Peck 2004 and The 300 Million Year War by Sue Hartley 2009. With many pictures such as Attenborough introducing to the audience Tammy, a ring-tailed lemur, and a cave drawing of a wild horse. A companion to 92050 10 Voyages Through the Human Mind. 214pp with gilt edged pages.
