Once a Spitfire pilot, the author is a distinguished writer, naturalist, film director and broadcaster, and an all-round sportsman. His wildlife films, many of which are made for the BBC's Natural History Unit, have received international acclaim and reached world-wide audiences through television. For ten years he made programmes about animal behaviour in partnership with Nobel prizewinner, Professor Niko Tinbergen. Their study of animal communication Signals for Survival won the two major awards for documentary films. Hugh Falkus has made documentaries for the cinema, written several books and plays and narrated many wildlife programmes - including the TV series The World About Us and Us and The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. His many and varied interests have all contributed to the writing and philosophy contained in this book. Hardcover, 447 pages, 24cm x 16cm.
