Penguins of the World

About this book

Over the course of eighteen years, science writer and photographer Wayne Lynch has traveled thousands of miles throughout the southern hemisphere to study the lives and loves of the penguin, perhaps nature's most irresistible bird. In entertaining, informative prose Wayne explores just how these flightless seabirds are able to survive. Find out how penguins choose their partners. Learn how they incubate their eggs, enduring weeks of bitter storms without nourishment. Follow the downy, potbellied chicks as they take their first waddling steps. Penguins of the World is a truly memorable family portrait and a must-have reference for all nature-lovers.-Cover.
