For zoologist Charlotte Uhlenbroek, being besieged by ants or dangled from a balloon high above the forest is all in a day's work. In making her new BBC TV series Jungle she had to deal with all this and more as she investigated the extraordinary relationship between the plants and animals - and people - of the rainforest. Using the latest technology, Charlotte was able to explore the tree canopy in Borneo - a landscape hundreds of feet off the ground, full of all kinds of exotic plant and animal life. Among her other challenges were a boat trip through the flooded forest of the Amazon where pink dolphins swim between the trees and a journey through the dense jungle of the Congo, last refuge of our cousins the gorillas. In the tradition of David Attenborough and Gerald Durrell, Charlotte Uhlenbroek describes her encounters with the world's most exotic flora and fauna in the most entertaining and informative way. Jungle is essential reading for all those who care about the wildest and most vulnerable places on earth - and want to know more.

Published to tie in with BBC ONE's four part series "Talking with Animals", this is a journey into methods of communication between all areas of the animal kingdom around the world. As humans we are well aware of the importance of communication, but how do animals send the same kind of messages to each other? By drawing upon her own wealth of experience and research, Charlotte Uhlenbroek explores the variety of signals that are used in interactions between and within species. She explains how understanding some of the universal rules of communication has enabled humans to interact closely with other animals throughout history, and the obvious advantages that this has created. Discussing every possible aspect of animal communication and illustrated throughout with specially created graphics, photographs and line drawings, this book is a useful companion to the series.
