en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 oct 2024
A beautiful photographic celebration of the world's 18 species of penguin.

Featuring breathtaking photographs of the world's 18 species of penguin, Mission Penguin takes you to many of the most remote places on earth, from the Falkland and Galápagos Islands to the Antipodes Islands and Tristan da Cunha.

Following the loss of her husband, Ursula Clare Franklin embarked on a personal mission to see and photograph every species of penguin in their natural habitats. The result is a remarkable showcase of penguins - hundreds of striking photographs accompanied by engaging text that details the penguins' features and characteristics. Each chapter explores a new penguin species and details Ursula's spectacular journey to see and photograph these much-loved birds.

This astonishing and informative book explores the difficulties all penguins face and how humanity's actions have threatened their very existence. Ursula warns of the devastating effects of climate change and the conservation efforts needed to ensure future generations can continue to experience the joy of penguins. This is a story that will inspire, uplift and educate.

Recenzii

An irresistible book ... Franklin's visual record feels both wondrous and poignant. Her book, filled with hundreds of large, crystal clear pictures, is a continual delight that captures these birds in all their playful variety.
Mission Penguin captures the joy that Franklin experiences as a wildlife photographer, while highlighting the ongoing challenges - and successes - facing different penguin colonies across the Southern Hemisphere.
The book is as much about the threat to penguins from climate change and human activity as it is a beautiful coffee table tome.
This sumptuous book is an introduction to the world of penguins. Ursula Franklin is primarily a photographer and tells us that she has loved penguins since the age of 8. She wanted to photograph all the eighteen living penguin species, a major undertaking requiring visits to many different places. The result is magnificent and remarkably comprehensive. Gorgeous.
Delightful . Franklin's knowledge of these birds is apparent throughout the book. It is an informative yet personal guide to the world's penguins and testament to the healing powers of nature and photography.
Great photography and a succinct text that tells you all you need to know.
