Descripción: • Over 180 photographs of penguins in the wild • Educational text that will teach readers about the daily lives of these flightless, aquatic birds • Designed to appeal to readers of all ages―young and old Review “For anyone wishing to know more about penguins, Joe McDonald has created a volume filled with photographs of these iconic birds. His images, along with those from his spouse, Mary Ann, and their photographer friends, are noteworthy in showing behavior and details.” ―John Nuhn, former photography director, National Wildlife“From beginning to end, I enjoyed every page of Penguins in the Wild―a beautiful blend of extraordinary photographs and informative, natural history text. A very personal perspective of one of my favorite families of birds . . . ” ―Steve Freligh, executive director, Nature’s Best Photography From the Author Like my Polar Bear book, Penguins in the Wild not only showcases Mary and my photos, but also the work of several other great photographers. I love this, as this has allowed me to include a great assortment of images that best illustrate the species. Face it, one photographer can't capture everything (usually), but photographers visiting Emperor Penguins or the diverse species on New Zealand's off-shore islands certainly can round out a great portfolio.Each section has an informative text that introduces the photo essay that follows, and the text is filled with interesting facts, as well as great photos. Hopefully, too, this book will motivate you to see Penguins for yourself -- maybe just in the Galapagos Islands on the Equator, where this cold water-loving species shares its habitat with Marine Iguanas and Flightless Cormorants!
