This sumptuous book is an introduction to the world of penguins. Ursula Franklin is primarily a photographer and tells us that she has loved penguins since the age of 8. She wanted to photograph all the eighteen living penguin species, a major undertaking requiring visits to many different places. The result is magnificent and remarkably comprehensive. Gorgeous.
