From Kings and Emperors to Macaronis and Rockhoppers, penguins are one of the most immediately recognizable animals on Earth. Yet for all that familiarity, what do we really know about them? All the World’s Penguins follows award-winning travel writer Jamie Lafferty as he visits all eighteen species in a bid to understand the birds and their extraordinarily varied habitats a little better. On voyages to some of the planet's most inaccessible and challenging landscapes, he recounts the history of our unique relationship with the world's most popular bird, telling not only the stories of the penguins, but also the people and places around them.
From getting stranded in the Galápagos and marching through African guano fields to leading photography groups in the Antarctic and taking psychedelics on the Falklands, this is a birding quest like no other. Along the way, Lafferty relives the experiences of early polar explorers—for whom penguins were perplexing mysteries, welcome companions, and even occasional meals—and meets the modern penguin lovers trying to save their fragile environments.
Featuring cameos from a wide cast of characters, including Ernest Shackleton, Charles Darwin, and Sir Francis Drake, as well as beautiful photographs of each penguin species, All the World’s Penguins is part love-letter to and part biography of these remarkable creatures.
