Penguin: A Story of Survival

by Stefan Christmann

There is only one bird species that hunts in summer and rears its young in the Emperor Penguin. These extraordinary animals survive the relentless Antarctic climate, braving an average temperature of -49 degrees Celsius, thanks to their special adaptation to the cold, as well as their loving, attentive, and helpful interaction with each other and with their offspring.

For this impressive penguin book, award-winning photographer and geophysicist, Stefan Christmann, accompanied a penguin colony in Antarctica for several months, capturing different stages of their lives. His sensitive images are a beautiful document of penguin behavior, as well as the rugged, hostile ice landscapes they call home.

This book is full of beautiful photos. Some heartbreaking but showinh the unflinching reality of life in Antartica. Some beautiful and heartwarming. The story is knowledgeable with out being preachy. I loved this book and would recommend it for anyone who loves penguins.
