A Polar Affair: Antarctica's Forgotten Hero and the Secret Love Lives of Penguins
See the history of Antarctic exploration through the eyes of lust-crazed penguins!
Scott's tragic 1910 Antarctic expedition included a physician named George Murray Levick. Levick spent a winter studying Adelie penguins, including their sexual habits. His findings were so scandalous to the Victorians who read them that they were suppressed and forgotten ... until now. This modern expose of these penguins' passions (and Levick's findings) introduces us to a wide range of both (then-deviant) avian practices and European polar explorers. Written by penguin researcher and adventurer Lloyd Spencer Davis, this book is packed with both action and facts. Read it for the armchair adventure travel, the ecological science, to feed your Ministry of Time obsession, or the hot hot penguin sex.
