'A delightful look at the extraordinary life of these tough, resourceful and beautiful birds in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Striking photographs and engaging narrative.' Publishing News (11 May 2007) '...well researched and visually attractive, while the charm and downright strangeness of penguins' lives are brought into focus through the numerous colour photos and firsthand testimony of a top polar expert.' Guardian (Nov 2007) 'A detailed and enlightening window into the snow-white worlds of 17 species of penguin... The themes addressed... reveal both the emotional and the adorable...' Daily Express (August 2007) 'An accessible, moving account of a species that thrives in adversity.' Good Book Guide (October 2007) 'This is a book for those who are after more than just cute pictures' Outdoor Photography (Oct 2007)
With the worldwide success of the movie March of the Penguins, these fascinating flightless birds have become a symbol of the fragile nature of our ecosystem. Faced with global warming, invasive tourism, pollution and loss of habitat, penguins need our help more than ever to survive. Over the last 18 years, Wayne Lynch has travelled thousands of miles to Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand and a dozen remote island clusters in the tempestuous Southern Ocean to study and photograph the 17 species of penguins in their natural habitats. In Penguins of the World, he documents the extraordinary life cycle of these tough, resourceful and beautiful birds in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Lynch's prose is engaging and easy-to-read, and his beautiful photographs capture the birds in a wide variety of activities and behaviours. Penguins of the World is a book not to be missed by anyone interested in the future of life on this planet.
