Description: From the publisher blurb: "Penguins are the world’s most easily recognized—and perhaps most appealing—group of birds. Flightless, penguins spend the vast majority of their lives swimming in the sea, yet they cannot shake off their evolutionary past: they are warm-blooded air breathers, and they must return to land to lay their eggs. Thus penguins face the challenges of balancing two worlds—the land for breeding, the sea for feeding. This engaging book offers a complete and up-to-date overview of all the world’s penguin species as well as new insights into their dual lives." Illustrated with photographs (including colour section) and line drawings. A popular scientific review of penguins.
CONDITION: Dust jacket VG+ with some light wear, book appears to be Near Fine, unmarked except for pencilled price on IFEP.
