The World of Penguins The World of Albatrosses
by Chris Gaskin and Neville Peat photographs by Kim Westerskov (Hodder & Stoughton) DID YOU KNOW that Emperor penguins can dive to deeper than 450m? That Fiordland crested penguins prefer squid, while yellow-eyed penguins prefer fish? That an albatross flew 5500km in 22 days? And that some albatrosses take 14 years before they start breeding? These two books contain a wealth of information on these remarkable seabirds, of which New Zealand has more species frequenting its waters than any other country. Excellent illustrations and photographs accompany readable text. Available from Forest and Bird's Wellington shop or from Forest and Bird, PO Box 631, Wellington for $19.95 + $3 p&p.
