Penguin-Pedia: Photographs and Facts from One Man's Search for the Penquins of the World - Hardcover

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.

David Salomon is a lifelong photographer, part-time writer, and full-time real estate developer from Dallas, Texas. The author of Who Needs a Government went from pursuing the topic of bureaucracy to delving into the intricate world of penguins. David has always loved animals and has a knack for taking pictures, specializing in outdoor photography. After being struck by penguin-mania, David spent the next two summers sailing the southern oceans, photographing all seventeen penguin species. Every picture in this book was taken by David. He also launched a massive search to personally verify old and new information about these graceful birds.
