Items related to Penguins: Their world, their ways
Penguins are, perhaps, the most loved of all birds, often being portrayed as caricatures of ourselves. Yet despite their popularity the many extraordinary facets of penguin life are only just being revealed. Modelled on the authors' much-praised Albatross: Their world, their ways (2008), this book is the first to comprehensively cover all of the 18 penguin species alongside the latest research into many of their more unusual adaptations, such as their deep-diving abilities. Penguins are the 'canaries in the coalmine' of the oceans, and their presence is indicatiive of a healthy marine environment. Although they are an icon of the southern hemisphere, what penguins can teach us about our changing seas is of truly global significance.

Product Description:
Although penguins are usually associated with the inhospitable coasts of Antarctica, the 18 different species are in fact spread widely across the southern hemisphere from Australia and New Zealand to the equatorial Galapagos Islands. Led by over 400 photographs of the aquatic birds in their natural habitats, this book explores the natural history, evolution and distribution of penguins and reports on the status and conservation of each of the species today.
