Editorial Reviews
Review

"This fascinating treatise on this interesting bird's life is very informative and would be an asset to any library." -- Choice

"This book is a testimony to a life's work on a fasicnating bird in an exciting environment... Although the book is very correct and the tone is humble, it is at the same time very personal and entertaining." -- Ibis

"[This book] reflects state-of-the-art ornithological and ecological knowledge of these charming birds... Most highly recommended to birders, ornithologists, and the academic libraries they haunt worldwide." -- International Hawkwatcher

"Ainley clearly implies that long-term research on Adelie penguins may offer a unique window through which to examine contemporary ecological issues related to global climate change and its effects on the structure and function of ecosystems." -- William R. Fraser, Ecology

"The book is valuable and thought provoking because it will draw the attention of readers to both the obvious direct and the subtle indirect ties between the birds and the many types of sea ice that characterize and shape their environment." -- Theresa L. Bucher, Quarterly Review of Biology

"a delightfully written volume that is certain to please the amateur birder, the polar traveler, and the serious academic ornithologist...jolly good show" -- William J. L. William, Bioscience

"this is an excellent book on the Adelie Penguin...this book will hold [readers'] attention" -- Gerald Kooyman, The Condor
