Penguin by Frans Lanting

Penguin by Frans Lanting

This title is a celebration of the nature and beauty of penguins as expressed through the exquisite images and unique personal stories of master photographer and naturalist Frans Lanting. In a remarkable portfolio of photographs made during three expeditions to the icy kingdoms of penguins, he reveals both the amazing natural history and the irresistible appeal of the most human of birds. Through his images, he carries us beyond the familiar views of penguins to reveal the stern beauty and dignity of their lives.

"As a chronicler of natural history today, Frans Lanting is a singular extraordinary talentHe has the mind of a scientist, the heart of a hunter, and the eyes of a poet." National Geographic, Washington "This book is a personal interpretation of the penguins I met, rather than a natural history of all penguins," Frans Lanting writes. "I wanted to create an impression of who these penguins are and what they go through. I hope my work will be seen as an homage to the individual within them all." More bang for your buck! "...a fast-food, high-energy fix on the topic at hand." The New York Times Book Review"
