Scientist Bill Fraser has devoted three decades to Antarctica, and in that time this breathtaking region has warmed faster than any place on earth, with profound consequences for the Ad駘ies, the classic tuxedoed penguin that is dependent on sea ice to survive. During the Antarctic spring and summer of 2005-2006, author Fen Montaigne spent five months working on Fraser's field team, and he returned with a moving tale that chronicles the beauty of the wildest place on earth, the lives of the beloved Ad駘ies, the saga of the discovery of the Antarctic Peninsula, and the story--told through Fraser's work--of how rising temperatures are swiftly changing this part of the world. It's Montaigne's descriptive prowess, his ability to evoke lavender--and cobalt, magenta and violet--without waxing purple, that most impresses (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) as he chronicles the penguins' plight, which is also our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fen Montaigne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 125000263X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250002631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/29\/2012 pg. 28","brand":"Fen Montaigne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924543766783,"sku":"9781250002631","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1577d069-a7d3-4d98-a8b7-95af7bb230ff.jpg?v=1681072036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frasers-penguins-fen-montaigne-9781250002631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
