A lot has changed since his first television documentary, and in this updated edition of Life on Air Sir David tells us of his experiences of filming in the 21st century.
This edition replaces the 2nd edition.

大卫·爱登堡是英国电视界最具影响力也最受人尊敬的人物之一。26岁那年，他申请到英国广播公司（BBC）工作——在那个时代，指的是为广播节目工作——被拒绝了。不过，有人看到他那份落选的申请信，问他是否感兴趣到电视台工作。他选择了尝试，一干就是六十年，从未离开。翻开本书，听大卫·爱登堡讲述自己的故事，从容优雅，不失幽默。
从26岁写到90岁，这本自传记录了大卫·爱登堡对自然世界的热情与致力于理解自然的毕生渴求。
“然而，我之所以用这样的方式度过自己一生、而且不愿停下制作节目的脚步，最根本的原因只是，我不知道这世上还有比凝望自然世界并尝试去理解它，更为深刻的快乐。”
——大卫·爱登堡

I am 94. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary.
As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity.
I have been witness to this decline.
is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake - and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right.
We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.
All we need is the will to do so.

Award-winning broadcaster and natural historian David Attenborough and longtime collaborator Colin Butfield present a powerful call to action focused on our planet's oceans, exploring how critical this habitat is for the survival of humanity and the future of Earth.
Through personal stories, history and cutting-edge science, Ocean uncovers the mystery, the wonder and the frailty of the most unexplored habitat on our planet – and the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe. The book showcase the oceans' remarkable resilience: they are the part of our world that can, and in some cases has, recovered the fastest, if we only give them the chance.
Drawing a course across David Attenborough's own lifetime, Ocean takes readers on an adventure-laden voyage through eight unique ocean habitats, through countless intriguing species, and through the most astounding discoveries of the last 100 years, to a future vision of a fully restored marine world, even richer and more spectacular than we could possibly hope. Ocean reveals the past, present and potential future of our blue planet. It is a book almost a century in the making, but one that has never been more urgently needed.
