Steve Backshall Annual 2018

2017 | Children

In this full colour, photographic, gift book fearless TV presenter, Steve Backshall, explores the lives and habitats of four endangered species: tigers, organutans, wolves, sharks - and tells us how we can all help in the conversation of these species. Steve has written about each of these animals in his fiction series The Falcon Chronicles and in this glorious, full colour, non fiction, gift book, he looks behind the scenes as he explores the continents, countries and oceans that each animal lives in from SE Asia to Siberia. You'll find sections on place, geography, peoples, animals, habitats, food, flora and fauna all punctuated by the 'wild wisdom' that also features in Steve's novels. For example, did you know: in judo, jujitsu and aikido a small protagonist can get the better of a giant simply by upsetting their balance, or that a poultice of tea leaves and lavender helps heal blisters, or that when you're tracking in the snow you should walk in single file as the snow is already compressed, meaning you don't sink so much and save energy. Perfect for young conservationists and animal lovers, as well as fans of David Attenborough.
