Antarctic Wildlife: A Visitor’s Guide – Book Review
James Lowen is the author of Antarctic Wildlife: A Visitor’s Guide.
He has in a very smart way compiled a plethora of information about wildlife in the form of birds and mammals that thrive in the remote locations of Antarctica, also known for being one of the coldest places in the world.
Antarctic Wildlife: A Visitor's Guide
This book is a genuine true guide for any person interested in wildlife for that part of the planet. He has identified and categorized the different species and described with great precision not only the species in question but provides also the locations where to find them whether it is any bird or any mammal. This makes it a no guessing situation for any traveler. I must say that I was very impressed with the excellent photography and the digital work done for this book. I believe that is was a good idea placing images of species next to each other digitally, offering the reader a great sense of scale and way for size comparison. Very smart idea indeed.
After reading about all these icy remote places where you brave such low temperatures I couldn’t help but to think:Thank you Mr.Lowen for being so brave and endure such harsh environment to provide us with this great guide. I will recommend it to all my friends, in Peru, Argentina and Chile as well as in the USA. They’ll be thrilled to read it.
