Publisher's Summary
From Gavin Thurston, the award-winning Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II cameraman, comes extraordinary and adventurous true stories of what it takes to track down and film our planet's most captivating creatures.
Gavin has been a wildlife photographer for over 30 years. During that time he's lurked in the shadows of some of the world's remotest places in order to capture footage of the animal kingdom's finest: prides of lions, silverback gorillas, capuchin monkeys, brown bears, grey whales, penguins, mosquitoes - you name it he's filmed it.
From journeys to the deepest depths of the Antarctic Ocean and the wide expanse of the Saharan deserts, to the peaks of the Himalayas and the wild forests of the Congo, Gavin's experiences describe much more than just the incredible array of animals he's filmed.
He invites you to come inside the cameraman's hidden world and discover the hours spent patiently waiting for the protagonists to appear; the inevitable dangers in the wings and the challenges faced and overcome; and the heartwarming, life-affirming moments the cameras miss as well as capture.

enjoyed it
the degrees listed what felt like every 10 minutes was annoying at first but I got used to it, apart from that was a really great listen, I liked the colourful stories, the perseverance, the near misses and the honesty. well narrated too.

Who takes the shots ?
I felt like I was behind the camera with Gavin. I often say when watching wild life documentaries that someone is taking these fabulous photos . This was a great insight into who does take the shots. Thankyou I very much enjoyed.?

Remarkable life!
Gavin has led a life most of us could only dream of living. He has seen more than most of us will ever manage and not all of it safe and yet his humour and kindness for our shared planet comes shining through. If you pick one book to listen to, pick this one!
