Format:Taschenbuch
Mike Bingham beschreibt hier sehr gut und fundiert, unterlegt mit vielen Statistiken und Graphiken wie auch Karten die Entwicklung der Pinguinbestände auf den Falklandinseln. Einzelne Pinguinarten werden ausführlich beschrieben.
Ebenfalls erwähnenswert ist auch das umfangreiche Literaturverzeichnis.
Insgesamt ist das Buch eine gute Empfehlung für den wissenschaftlich interessierten Pinguinfreund.

Must have book if you're planning a trip to see Falkland Island's wildlife
28. August 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I bought this book because we are planning a trip to the Falkland Islands specifically to see the penguins. Our goal is to view all 17 species of penguins in their natural habitats. This book really identified exactly where to see which type of penguin, how many nest at each site, time of year they come on shore to breed, etc... For this purpose, I highly recommend this book. Although we admire Dr. Bingham work and support his cause, some of the text came across as an angry diatribe against the Falkland Island government which may lessen the scientific credibility of his work, eg "Firstly I discovered firearms hidden under my bed, but I was able to dispose of them prior to the Customs raid...".

Summarized briefing of field observations and data
14. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Basics: 2001, softcover, 133 pages, simple b&w sketches and maps
Offering us a synopsis of his field research, the author documents and summarizes the natural history of the seven penguin species found in South America. The focus of this book is purely as reference. It does not offer photos, illustrations, or text that can be used for identification. The single black-and-white sketch for each bird is included at the beginning of each mini-chapter more as decoration.
The book has four distinct sections: (1) 17 pages on a general introduction to penguins; (2) 48 pages offering an account of each species; (3) 15 pages on penguins and the environment; and, (4) a 35-page bibliography. The information gives a very good background on a variety of natural history topics for each species. With the 4-10 pages that cover each penguin, good information is provided for the bird's population trends, nesting, breeding, and feeding habits, and human or environmental impacts.
Included with most of the birds are simple bar graphs denoting the population trends for nesting pairs and for hatched chicks. One or two rough, but effective, maps show the distribution of the species along with locations of breeding sites.
This book provides a good overview for anyone who wants to get a quick introduction to the life histories of these birds. It does not get bogged down in the more traditional science-data-research format. Instead, it's written in a more lay tactic that can be appreciated by the interested naturalist and eco-traveler. Reading this book in advance of a trip to the Falklands will offer a greater appreciation of the birds.
