According to author Wayne Lynch  part of our curiosity about these stocky little birds is related to just that -- their almost human behaviors. Like us  they live in communities where they play and fight with one another  steal from each other  hunt for food  quarrel with their mates  form lasting pair bonds  separate  commit infidelities and care for and sometimes neglect or even kill their offspring. Day in and day out  their lives seem unnervingly like our own. In Penguins of the World  however  Lynch suggests that the life of a penguin goes well beyond the realm of our common shared experience. In the past eight years  Lynch has traveled more than 130 000 miles (210 000 km) to Antarctica  the Galpagos Islands  Argentina  Chile  New Zealand and a dozen remote island clusters in the tempestuous Southern Ocean to observe  study and enjoy this remarkable bird. A self-proclaimed \"penguin addict \" Lynch has determined that penguins are more complex and far richer in adaptations and behaviors than humans ever imagined. Penguins of the World is Lynchs record of a journey of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647194357813,"sku":"ByrdShop_1552091805","price":33.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781552091807.jpg?v=1781689634","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/penguins-of-the-world-9781552091807","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
