There's something new under the sun • Plants live secret, unseen lives - hidden in their magical world and on their timescale. From the richest jungles to the harshest deserts, from the snowiest alpine forest to the remotest steaming swamp, Green Planet travels from one great habitat to the next, showing us that plants are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as the animals on our planet. You will discover agents of death, who ruthlessly engulf their host plant, but also those that form deep and complex relationships with other species, such as the desert cacti who use nectar-loving bats to pollinate. Although plants are undoubtedly the stars of the show, a fascinating new light will be shed on the animals that interact with them • Using the latest technologies and showcasing over two decades of new discoveries, Green Planet reveals the strange and wonderful life of plants like never before - a life full of remarkable behaviour, emotional stories and surprising heroes подробнее

Растения работают над тем, чтобы помешать своим врагам и обманом заставить животных работать на них • Прямо у вас под ногами и повсюду вокруг вас находится тайный мир, который вы, вероятно, никогда не замечали. До сих пор. Давайте исследуем нашу зеленую планету вместе с книгой Лизы Стюарт-Шарп "Зеленая планета" • Книга на английском языке • This is our Green Planet: a hidden world where plants care for other plants and can smell, taste, touch, hear and even… 'talk'

BBC books The Complete Father Brown Stories Честертон Гилберт Кит

BBC books The Shipping Forecast. A Miscellany Compton Nic

The rhythmic lullaby of ‘North Utsire, South Utsire’ has been lulling the nation’s insomniacs to sleep for over 90 years.

From the places themselves – how they got their names, what’s happened there through the ages – to the poems and parodies that it’s inspired, this is a beautifully evocative tribute to one of Britain's – and Radio 4's – best-loved broadcasts
