Penguin Planet is a celebration of all things penguin. Author and photographer Kevin Schafer made it his mission to see and photograph every remaining penguin species in the wild; and the first edition was the result of that journey. This new edition combines even more exceptional photography with colorful personal essays and up-to-date information on a most remarkable and utterly unique group of birds. In this extraordinary collection; Schafer not only discusses how penguins live but also captures them on camera; while dispelling many popular misconceptions. (Did you know that most penguin species never encounter ice and snow in their lifetimes?) In addition; Schafer examines important and timely topics; including the effects of global climate change and how these unlikely birds are faring in an increasingly human-altered world. Penguin Planet is a necessity for penguin lovers everywhere.

PollardBook in great condition and the price saved me lots of money. This is a required textbook for many Theatre Arts programs around the country.10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Good book; but watch the price!By CustomerThis is an excellent and methodical look at how one may analyse a theatrical script. BUT--watch out for the pricing of this book McGraw-Hill lists this book at $50. has it for around $34 and it seems to be going used for about $23. This is; at most; a companion text which needs copies of the analysed scripts ("Glass Menagerie;" "Joe Turners Come and Gone;" "Tartuffe;" and "Hamlet" to get the full effect (all parts of one of McGraw-Hills theatre anthologies). While says that this book is 144 pages; my copy (also first edition and also published in 2005) is only 114 pages long.Dont get me wrong--I think that this is a perfect companion to any theatre class where students are going to be required to read scripts; but I cannot in good conscience require a text that is this expensive and this short. If it was around $15; bundled with their anthology; or even provided as an appendix to one of their anthologies it would be an excellent addition to my class. As it is Ill simply put a copy on reserve in our library and suggest students use it to help with their assignments.
