Anthony Smith (explorer)
Anthony Smith (30 March 1926 – 7 July 2014) was, among other things, a writer, author, sailor, ballonist and former ''Tomorrow's World'' television presenter. He was perhaps best known for his bestselling work ''The Body'' (originally published in 1968 and later renamed ''The Human Body''), which has sold over 800,000 copies worldwide and tied in with a BBC television series, ''The Human Body'', known in America by the name ''Intimate Universe: The Human Body''. The series aired in 1998 and was presented by Professor Robert Winston.
==Life and work==
Smith read zoology at Balliol College, Oxford, became a pilot in the RAF and went on to write as a science correspondent for the ''Daily Telegraph''. He also worked extensively in both television and radio, writing for several natural history programmes.
Smith's first expedition was to Persia, exploring the Qanat underground irrigation tunnels. This expedition was documented in his book ''Blind White Fish in Persia''; a species of fish that he discovered is named after him.
