Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A Birdwatcher's Yearbook Best Bird Book of the Year"
"De Roy has swum, walked and slept amid penguins wherever they can be found. . . . This beautiful book can only fuel readers’ passion to preserve these astonishing birds, and for that, the authors must be lauded." * Wall Street Journal *
"For those who love these iconic, oddly endearing birds—and who doesn’t?—this book is almost as good as an expedition to see them in the flesh." * Natural History *
"A beautiful book. . . . It is also authoritative." * Minneapolis Star Tribune *
"This book is a singular, magnificent step forward, a supernova for the eyes and minds of all penguin-lovers, and indeed penguin researchers everywhere." * The Condor *
"[An] unrivalled blend of information and images." * Marine Ornithology *
"Simply Sumptuous! . . . A feast for all the senses – it even smells good."
---Bo Beolens, Fat Birder"Supported by over 400 spectacular photographs, this large format book deals with just about everything regarding the 18 species of penguins in the world."
---Geoff Carpentier, North Durham Nature Newsletter"This is a book neontologists will treasure, while paleontologists, too, stand to benefit, both because their interests are directly catered to, and because here is a trove of detailed information conducive to ideas arising that may turn useful in paleontology, in understanding processes of diversification."
---Ephraim Nissan, Paleontological Society"A terrific book which does justice to a collection of engaging species."
---Richard Sale, IBIS Book Reviews
