Understanding the Natural World
Description
Sir David Attenborough reviews the most exciting scientific discoveries that have transformed our view of life on earth during his lifetime, including the breakthroughs that helped shape his own career. He also recalls some of his more hair-raising attempts to bring new science to a television audience-by standing in the shadow of an erupting volcano as lumps of hot lava crashed around him; being charged by a group of armed New Guinean tribesmen; and capturing chimps hunting monkeys on camera for the first time. A co-production of BBC and Thirteen in association with WNET New York Public Media.
