A Penguin Year
An introduction to the physical characteristics, habits, and natural environment of the Adelie penguins of Antarctica.
Professor Penguin
Meet ‘Bill Bryson in Antarctica’ in this engaging book by one of the world's authority on penguins. Part memoir, partly the research of a field biologist, Professor Penguin could be called ‘How Penguins Shaped My Life’. Based on journals kept during Davis’s years of working with penguins in the wild, the story takes readers to remote locations: Antarctica, the Galapagos, the deserts of Chile and Peru, the Falkland Islands, the wild coasts of Argentina and South Africa, and New Zealand. Davis, a world authority on penguins, reveals that these box-office favourites are not the cute ‘mate for life’ animals we’ve been led to believe. He also reveals that penguins are a lot like h...
The Behavior of Penguins
"Strange geese." That was their description when they were discovered in 1520 during Magellan's historic voyage. Today, penguins are familiar to everyone, yet few researchers have observed them in the remote regions in which they live. Written by an ecologist-behaviorist who has worked extensively in the natural penguin habitat, The Behavior of Penguins is the first general work on the entire family of penguins. Numerous and remarkable field photographs document the author's detailed study of the life cycles and breeding patterns of each penguin species. He brings to light their unusual abilities to go with little food for months, to dive deep in the ocean, and to protect themselves in extreme environments. Müller-Schwarze's comprehensive and fascinating account of penguins also emphasizes the urgent need to protect these birds and their natural habitat.
Penguins
An introduction to members of the penguin family, including chinstrap penguins, Fiordland penguins, and Macaroni penguins.
A Penguin's World
Did you know that there are 17 types of penguins in the world and only seven types live in Antarctica? This and other facts about these charming birds are what draws children to Patricia Gleichauf's books about endangered sea creatures. This is the 6th and final book in her award winning Under the Sea series. Beautifully illustrated, A Penguin's World is sure to delight children of all ages. Ten types of penguins are endangered, vulnerable or threatened. Reasons for this include global warming and contamination of our oceans with trash and plastics. Proper disposal of trash, recycling of plastics, and turning off lights when leaving a room are simple ways we can be good stewards for penguins.
The Penguin who Wanted to Fly
A penguin who wanted to fly through the air learns to enjoy flying through the sea. Suggested level: junior.
Why Penguins Communicate
Why Penguins Communicate: The Evolution of Visual and Vocal Signals is a comprehensive and condensed review of several hundred publications on the evolution of penguin behaviors, particularly signaling, linking genetics and ecology via such behavioral adaptations as nuptial displays. This exciting work has developed from the authors' many years researching on the behavioral strategies of penguins, such as the unique vocal signatures for individual recognition. Studies of penguins on islands surrounding Antarctica are presented, fully showcasing the behavioral significance of visual ornaments (mating displays) and how and why penguins behave via adaptive evolutionary explanations. Through thi...
Penguin-pedia
An exhaustive resource for academics and amateur penguin-o-philes alike, Penguin-Pedia carefully analyzes the behavior, habitat, reproduction, feeding habits, and population levels of sixteen species of penguin, including the King, Humboldt, Magellanic, Chinstrap, Gentoo, Fiordland, and more. Each chapter is carefully organized with reports and detailed measurements and weights of penguins from various colonies and nests. An extensive bibliography will direct students of the penguin to scholarly books and journals, dozens of full-color photographs of penguins in their natural habitat, and a full directory of penguin-exhibiting zoos from around the world complete this source of all things penguin.
