About this product
Product Information
An acclaimed photographic guide to these marvelous and enigmatic birds--now in a new, updated edition Penguins are perhaps the most beloved birds. On land, their behavior appears so humorous and expressive that we can be excused for attributing to them moods and foibles similar to our own. Few realize how complex and mysterious their private lives truly are, as most of their existence takes place far from our prying eyes, hidden beneath the ocean waves. Now in a new, updated edition, this stunningly illustrated book provides a unique look at these extraordinary creatures and the cutting-edge science that is helping us to better understand them. Featuring more than 400 breathtaking photos, this is the ultimate guide to all 18 species of penguins, including those with retiring personalities or nocturnal habits that tend to be overlooked and rarely photographed. This revised second edition features updated scientific information and some spectacular new photographs. Penguins is the most ambitious book to date by Tui De Roy, Mark Jones, and Julie Cornthwaite. Their travels, spanning more than two decades, have seen them crisscross the southern hemisphere to virtually everywhere that penguins are found, from the sun-baked lava shores of the Galápagos to some of the remotest subantarctic islands, as well as all around the Antarctic continent, where Emperor penguins breed on the deep-frozen sea. A book that no bird enthusiast or armchair naturalist should do without, Penguins includes discussions of penguin conservation, informative species profiles, fascinating penguin facts, and tips on where to see penguins in the wild. Covers all 18 species of the world's penguins Features more than 400 stunning photos Explores the latest science on penguins and their conservation Includes informative species profiles and fascinating penguin facts

Reviews
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., "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, 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., "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, "Simply Sumptuous! . . . A feast for all the senses - it even smells good." ---Bo Beolens, Fat Birder, "A terrific book which does justice to a collection of engaging species." ---Richard Sale, IBIS Book Reviews, This book is a singular, magnificent step forward, a supernova for the eyes and minds of all penguin-lovers, and indeed penguin researchers everywhere.

I've bought from them a few times, and every time the records arrive just as described and well packed for shipping. Their prices for the EU releases I want have been far better than any other sellers. So I will continue to buy vinyl from them, knowing that they maintain a high level of customer support & communication.
