Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The penguins of the Antarctic regions very rightly have been termed the true inhabitants of that country. The species is of great antiquity, fossil remains of their ancestors having been found, which showed that they flourished as far back as the eocene epoch. To a degree far in advance of any other bird, the penguin has adapted itself to the sea as a means of livelihood, so that it rivals the very fishes. This proficiency in the water has been gained at the expense of its power of flight, but this is a matter of small moment, as it happens.

Book excerpt: When Captain Scott made his dash to the Pole, Dr. Levick remained in winter quarters and devoted himself to a study of the animal life of the Antarctic, and the curious social and community life of the penguins in their rookeries. "We cannot praise too highly the patient and careful observation which is evident in every page of this delightful book." -The Atheneum "The book verily is quite a rare little treat, and we like the natural way, the jolly way, it is written." -Saturday Review "A delightful little book....The author is Dr. G. Murray Levick, of the Royal Navy. Dr. Levick was the zoologist to the Scott expedition. His book is, in a way, a tribute to the funny and friendly creatures who did so much to cheer him and his companions during their two long years in the far South." -The Nation "Interesting study of the habits of these curious and amusing birds by the zoologist of the Scott expedition." --New York State Library Education Department Bulletin "Life near the poles is a heart-breaking monotony, slash with sudden dilemma, danger and death. Here is an honest transcript of it that partakes of all these elements." -Life Magazine "The author was zoologist to the British Antarctic expedition, 1910-1913, and he writes an interesting account of these South-polar inhabitants. He says that when seen for the first time an 'Adelie penguin gives you the impression of a very smart little man in an evening dress suit.'" -Booklist "Nice, affectionate, wobbly beasts described with much human sympathy." -Independent "We have to congratulate the author on his well-told story." -The New York Times "The merit of the book lies in the detailed and minute accuracy of the author's observations." -Spectator
Download or read book A Polar Affair written by Lloyd Spencer Davis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating blend of true adventure and natural history by one of today’s leading penguin experts and Antarctic explorers. George Murray Levick was the physician on Robert Falcon Scott’s tragic Antarctic expedition of 1910. Marooned for an Antarctic winter, Levick passed the time by becoming the first man to study penguins up close. His findings were so shocking to Victorian morals that they were quickly suppressed and seemingly lost to history. A century later, Lloyd Spencer Davis rediscovers Levick and his findings during the course of his own scientific adventures in Antarctica. Levick’s long-suppressed manuscript reveals not only an incredible survival story, but one that will change our understanding of an entire species. A Polar Affair reveals the last untold tale from the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. It is perhaps the greatest of all of those stories—but why was it hidden to begin with? The ever-fascinating and charming penguin holds the key. Moving deftly between both Levick’s and Davis’s explorations, observations, and comparisons in biology over the course of a century, A Polar Affair reveals cutting-edge findings about ornithology, in which the sex lives of penguins are the jumping-off point for major new insights into the underpinnings of evolutionary biology itself.
Download or read book The Ad lie Penguin written by David G. Ainley and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When sea-ice declines, so does the population of Adelie penguins, making this species a predictive indicator of the effects of global warming. This book summarizes our present ecological knowledge of this species: its biology, behavior, and ecology within the Antarctic ecosystem; the ecological factors important to its life history; and details of the mechanisms by which it is responding to climate change. The narrative is complemented by richly written texts from the earliest Antarctic naturalists, fine illustrations from the accomplished artist Lucia deLeiris, and photographs by the author.
