Every Penguin in the World: A Quest to See Them All - Hardcover

by Charles Bergman (Author)

A husband and wife travel the globe to see all 18 penguin species in this "celebration of these delightful birds and a call for their conversation" that offers "joy, love, and hope for penguins and the world" (Dr. Jane Goodall).

Every Penguin in the World tracks author-photographer Charles Bergman's forays around the southern hemisphere--from the Galapagos to South Africa to the Antarctic--in his quest to see all 18 species of penguins in the world. The sections of the book are organized around themes of adventure, science and conservation, and pilgrimage--in which stories of each penguin species will be touched upon.

This endearing and thought-provoking book beautifully combines narrative and photography to capture the plight and the experience of penguins worldwide. The author and his wife developed a passion after seeing their first penguin species and have since spent years traveling far and wide to see each variety of penguin in its natural habitat.

Both a love letter and a call to action, Every Penguin in the World is a joyful ode to adventure, conservation, and the beautiful penguins that capture our hearts.

"It's SO good! [...] Chuck Bergman's writing, photography, and vulnerability is so kick-ass!"
--Brené Brown, New York Times-bestselling author of Dare to Lead
