The Behavior of Penguins
"Strange geese." That was their description when they were discovered in 1520 during Magellan's historic voyage. Today, penguins are familiar to everyone, yet few researchers have observed them in the remote regions in which they live. Written by an ecologist-behaviorist who has worked extensively in the natural penguin habitat, The Behavior of Penguins is the first general work on the entire family of penguins. Numerous and remarkable field photographs document the author's detailed study of the life cycles and breeding patterns of each penguin species. He brings to light their unusual abilities to go with little food for months, to dive deep in the ocean, and to protect themselves in extreme environments. Müller-Schwarze's comprehensive and fascinating account of penguins also emphasizes the urgent need to protect these birds and their natural habitat.

The Lonely Penguin's Blog 6-Pack
Building off of the popularity of social media, the story of Palaki the penguin's blog posts relates to the reader. Unfortunately, Palaki swims off in the wrong direction and ends up in a climate that is far too warm for a penguin. Luckily, a group of humans at the Wellington Zoo are kind enough to help nurse Palaki back to health so that he can make his journey home to Antarctica. Young readers will be exposed to blogging and the importance of nurturing wildlife in this fun and informative reader. This 6-Pack includes six copies of this title plus a lesson plan.

Why Penguins Communicate
Why Penguins Communicate: The Evolution of Visual and Vocal Signals is a comprehensive and condensed review of several hundred publications on the evolution of penguin behaviors, particularly signaling, linking genetics and ecology via such behavioral adaptations as nuptial displays. This exciting work has developed from the authors' many years researching on the behavioral strategies of penguins, such as the unique vocal signatures for individual recognition. Studies of penguins on islands surrounding Antarctica are presented, fully showcasing the behavioral significance of visual ornaments (mating displays) and how and why penguins behave via adaptive evolutionary explanations. Through thi...
