This book is excellent, everything it should be: a scampering read, fast and funny; excellent natural history, observed first hand; and all underpinned by the deep ideas of modern biology

Lloyd Spencer Davis has gone where few have gone before in The Plight of the Penguin. We're not just talking geography here either. What's incredible is Davis has made natural history fun.
