The Penguin Book of Penguins

Peter Fretwell

There's something about penguins that makes them irresistible. Maybe it's their comical waddle, their black-and-white 'tuxedo' plumage, or their apparent cheerfulness in the face of extreme weather conditions. Whatever the reason, their cult following around the globe is indisputable. Penguins can tell us so much about the world we live in - and what the future of both our species might look like. In 'The Penguin Book of Penguins', leading British Antarctic scientist Peter Fretwell introduces us to eighteen charismatic species of penguin and the fascinating lives they lead: their evolution, behaviours and habitats, and their history with humans.
