Planet Earth By Alastair Fothergill BBC Books, £25YOU'VE marvelled at the TV series, now you can buy the book.
Given the unforgettable images Planet Earth brought to our screen, you'd expect to be wowed by the 400 photographs in this beautiful book.
It says something then that the photos here will take your breath away. There's something about the still frame which adds even more wonderment to the world.
Whether it's a polar bear perched on the ice flow with the vivid red blood of its seal catch in an otherwise white and blue-grey landscape, or the shadows of giraffes in drought-hit Botswana, these are staggering photographs.
The other surprise is that this is not just a coffee table photographic book. There's plenty of in-depth thought-provoking narrative which will surely make this one of the big Christmas books of the year.
