Sommario/riassunto |
|
<P>Celebrity conservationists have played a major role in drawing attention to an increasingly threatened natural world. Through television they have brought the crises of this world directly into the public gaze. This book is one of the first to address this contribution, focusing on key figures such as David Attenborough and Steve Irwin. </P> |
