Book
There's something about penguins. Maybe it is their comical waddle, or the fact that their upright gait makes them look like humans. Whatever the reason, their cult following around the world is indisputable. The Penguin Book of Penguins is a joyful, informative book that introduces us to the main species of penguin and the fascinating lives they lead -- their history, evolution, behaviours and habitats. As leading British Antarctic scientist Peter Fretwell shows, many of the distant places penguins inhabit face threats to their existence through human interaction and climate change. It's time we learned what the future holds for these most beloved of birds.
