Being unfamiliar with the ways and genius of British television, I wasn&#8217;t aware of the programmes until <em>The Life of Mammals<\/em> aired in 2002. Even then, it wasn&#8217;t until I worked on the picture research for <em>Life in the Undergrowth<\/em> in 2004 did I really start paying attention.<\/p>\n<p>It was exciting to work on this new, updated edition. The picture research took 6 weeks, give or take, which is not long to work with considering that nearly each of the 198 pages over 13 chapters had to be illustrated by pictures. In addition, David Attenborough\u2019s text is full of colourful descriptions and diverse examples to explain the stages of the plants and animals\u2019 evolution physically and in their behaviour &#8211; this made it both a challenge to find the correct species and a joy to find that he would have so many pictures to choose from. We ended up with 110 pictures in the book &#8211; hurrah!<\/p>\n<p>You can explore all the images from the book from this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturepl.com\/books\/collaborations\/life-on-earth.html\">gallery<\/a> or buy some lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natureplprints.com\/life-earth\">prints.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life On Earth celebrates its 40th anniversary in January 2019.
