Stephen Martin is currently a Senior Project Officer at the State Library of New South Wales. He has published many books and articles on Australian and Antarctic history, including A History of Antarctica (1996) and The Whales' Journey: A Year in the Life of a Humpback Whale and a Century in the History of Whaling (2001).
From the Penguin Books logo to "The March of the Penguins," a certain tuxedo-adorned member of the animal kingdom has long captured our hearts and imaginations. Stephen Martin regales us here with the cultural and natural history of the penguin, revealing many fascinating and little-known facts about this beloved bird.Over twenty species of penguins can be found in the Galapagos Islands and New Zealand as well as in Antarctica, and they range from the Little Bee Penguin at two pounds to the imposing Emperor Penguin, which can weigh in at over seventy-five pounds. Martin details the biological facts and natural history of each species, including their evolution, habitats, diet, and behavior, but he also explores the role of penguins in popular culture and thought--from children's literature such as "Mr. Popper's Penguins," to Batman's nemesis, the Penguin, to films and television shows including "Happy Feet" and "Pingu." In addition, over one hundred images of penguins enrich Martin's engaging text. A captivating natural and cultural history, "Penguin" will be an essential addition to the bookshelves of penguin fans everywhere.
