Renowned science writer Wayne Lynch has a passion and fascination for the members of the penguin family. A self-described "penguin addict," he has logged more than 130,000 miles to sit among hundreds, sometimes even thousands of penguins on the far-flung beaches of the Galapagos Islands, Chile, Antarctica and New Zealand. This stocky little bird survives a rocky adolescence and adulthood, to experience territorial squabbles, "marriages," attacks by sea mammals and sometimes months without food as it incubates its eggs through the unrelenting winter. What is a penguin?; Penguins in motion; What's on the menu?; The mating game; Penguin killers; Penguins of the world; With lively, humorous writing and unforgettable photographs, Penguins! explores the daily lives of this feisty seabird survivor. A lively first-person narrative, peppered with journal excerpts, personal observations and anecdotes. In full colour with colour photographs on every page.
