We’ve added a significant number of new titles to the list and 2009 promises to be a bumper year. It’s wonderful to have two classic references available in paperback for the first time ever—Macdonald’s Princeton Encyclopedia of Mammals and Perrins’ Princeton Encyclopedia of Birds. These are outstanding books that belong on every naturalist’s shelf. A new Lars Jonsson book is always cause for celebration, and in Lars Jonsson’s Birds we have a mouthwatering collection of much of the master’s recent work, once again confirming him as the doyen of wildlife artists. Jeremy Mynott’s Birdscapes is an intriguing and elegant study of man’s enduring interrelationship with birds, at once insightful, amusing, and informative. We have also just published three new titles in our Princeton Field Guides series, and particular attention should be given to Mark Brazil’s magnificent Birds of East Asia, which covers Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and the eastern Asian seaboard, an area lacking a unifying guide until now, and to Dennis Paulson’s Dragonflies and Damselflies of the West, a richly illustrated, authoritative photographic guide, soon to be followed by a volume on the East.

  • Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (Eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang
    Morgan Richards (forthcoming 2013) ‘Greening Wildlife Documentary’, in Libby Lester and Brett Hutchins (eds) Environmental Conflict and the Media, New York: Peter Lang. GREENING WILDLIFE DOCUMENTARY Morgan Richards The loss of wilderness is a truth so sad, so overwhelming that, to reflect reality, it would need to be the subject of every wildlife film. That, of course, would be neither entertaining nor ultimately dramatic. So it seems that as filmmakers we are doomed either to fail our audience or fail our cause. — Stephen Mills (1997) Five years before the BBC’s Frozen Planet was first broadcast in 2011, Sir David Attenborough publically announced his belief in human-induced global warming. “My message is that the world is warming, and that it’s our fault,” he declared on the BBC’s Ten O’Clock News in May 2006. This was the first statement, both in the media and in his numerous wildlife series, in which he didn’t hedge his opinion, choosing to focus on slowly accruing scientific data rather than ruling definitively on the causes and likely environmental impacts of climate change. Frozen Planet, a seven-part landmark documentary series, produced by the BBC Natural History Unit and largely co-financed by the Discovery Channel, was heralded by many as Attenborough’s definitive take on climate change. It followed a string of big budget, multipart wildlife documentaries, known in the industry as landmarks1, which broke with convention to incorporate narratives on complex environmental issues such as habitat destruction, species extinction and atmospheric pollution. David Attenborough’s The State of the Planet (2000), a smaller three-part series, was the first wildlife documentary to deal comprehensively with environmental issues on a global scale.

Why on earth you would think they are quartz crystals?

  • The Evolutionary Epic
    Attenborough¶s natural history films: The evolutionary epic Graham Huggan This chapter looks at Sir David Attenborough¶s natural history films as examples of the µevolutionary epic¶: a by definition large-scale genre which, in keeping with natu- ral historical principles of systematic description and synthesising knowledge, drama- tises evolutionary processes of selective adaptation while illustrating the seemingly infinite variety needed for survival in the struggle for life. Drawing primarily on Life On Earth (1979), the chapter shows how this justly acclaimed TV series, sometimes seen as one of BBC¶s crowning achievements, upholds broadly conservationist prin- ciples while tending to rely on dubious sociobiological assumptions ± about inher- itance and lineage, territoriality and competition, the sexual division of labour and, not least, the capitalist system that sustains these ± which also go unchallenged else- where in Attenborough¶s nature documentary work. 1. Introduction Sir David Attenborough is one of the most recognisable faces on tele- vision today, though his physical appearances have become increas- ingly infrequent. For more than half a century, the windswept hair, the whispering voice, and the simultaneously authoritative and self- effacing demeanour all combined to make the Attenborough persona one of television¶s most readily identifiable screen images, and the nature documentaries he presented one of television¶s most enduringly successful market brands. Though ± unsurprisingly ± he dislikes the term, Attenborough has evolved into one of television¶s premier µna- ture celebrities¶, lending his name to a number of different environ- mental trusts and organisations and becoming iconically associated with the conservation of the planet and, particularly, the preservation of the world¶s wildlife.

  • The Origins of the Wildlife Making-Of Documentary Genre. Journal of Popular Television (In Press)
    Gouyon, J; (2016) “As if eavesdropping on actual filming”. The origins of the wildlife making-of documentary genre. Journal of Popular Television (In press). Downloaded from UCL Discovery: http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1472911. ARTICLE “As if eavesdropping on actual filming”. The origins of the wildlife making-of documentary genre. Jean-Baptiste Gouyon University College London Abstract The wildlife making-of documentary genre has become a routine appendage to most prestige natural history series. However, the genre is a fairly recent one. The first attempt at producing a wildlife MOD was in 1963 the half-hour long Unarmed Hunter. The first wildlife MOD accompanying a natural history programme was in 1984 The Making of the Living Planet. In between these two films, the televising of natural history became a profession revolving around the technical mastery of the filmmaking apparatus. The article examine this history, and suggests that the MOD helped filmmakers to secure credibility as producers of knowledge. Keywords: Making-of documentary; wildlife filmmaking; Science television; BBC NHU. Introduction The trouble with nature is it does not know when it is meant to be collaborating. [Ö] So the makers of The Living Planet had to use all their natural low cunning and perseverance in order to play nature at its own game. This is the story of how it was done. (The Making of The Living Planet, Brock, 1984b) Wildlife making-of documentaries (MODs) are instrumental for wildlife filmmakers to publicly define, and shape audiences’ perception of wildlife films as a trustworthy mix of entertaining spectacle and original knowledge about the natural world.

  • A Discussion of Australian Environmental Law
    LET OFF THE HOOK: WESTERN AUSTRALIAN DRUM LINING OF GREAT WHITE SHARKS A DISCUSSION OF AUSTRALIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW Hamish Reid A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Laws (with Honours) at the University of Otago, 2014. So basically if you cut off the head - if you wish - the top species, the top carnivores that control a lot of the processes lower down the food web, you’re removing a really important controlling agent and that could cause upheaval in the lower trophic levels – like the plants and the zooplankton. The ocean is basically the life support system of the planet. To change that support system in any major way is a risky thing, we know from the past that when oceans have changed that life on earth has changed. Dr Boris Worm, Marine Biologist, Dalhousie University But I did not make them because I had premonitions of impending eco-disaster. I did so because I know of no pleasure deeper than that which comes from contemplating the natural world and trying to understand it. - David Attenborough, Life on Air, 1997 LET OFF THE HOOK: WESTERN AUSTRALIAN DRUM LINING OF GREAT WHITE SHARKS A DISCUSSION OF AUSTRALIAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW Abstract Carcharodon carcharias, the great white shark, is a threatened, migratory species. Its legal protection under Australian state and Commonwealth laws and, international law has done little to arrest the decline of its populations. Shark attacks remain rare. However in response to seven shark fatalities in the period 2010 - 2013 in Western Australian waters the state government controversially introduced a lethal trial drum line program the purpose of which was to target capture and dispose of the great white and other marine life.
