Customer Review:
Seen any macaroni penguins lately?
No, neither have I but you'll find them in Frans Lanting's beautiful paperback of penguin photos, along with the emperor, gentoo, king, magellanic, chinstrap, adelie and rockhopper, all in dazzling colour. As he says in the books short introduction it is not a natural history of these amazing birds but a personal photographic interpretation shot over a ten-year period. The birds are shown in all weather conditions, as huge groups, ten or so and as individuals in very detailed close-ups. Naturally the close-ups of parents with chicks are the most appealing photos in the book.

Many of the photos have captions and rather strangely there are twenty-four pages at the back of the book with thumbnails of all the photos and detailed captions, I would have thought it better to use these pages for more photos and have a caption (where needed) on each page. Apart from this I think it is a lovely book of penguin photographs and excellent value too.
photos magnifiques et texte passionnant
Aimer les pingouins est sans doute un passe-temps bizarre, mais ce n'est pas obligatoire pour apprécier ce livre. Les photos sont exceptionnelles, rares, émouvantes, elles ont demandé une immersion complète dans la banquise pendant des mois pour apprivoiser les pingouins. Et le texte, véritable reportage sur ces drôles d'oiseau sociaux, nous apprend notamment comment les mâles couvent les oeufs pendant des mois pendant que les femelles vont à la pêche... Un cadeau qui plaira à tous ceux qui aiment la banquise, les belles photos et peuvent être émus par un pingouin.
