Evoking the spirit of the earth's wildest places, seabirds spend their lives away from civilization, nesting on remote islands that humans rarely visit. In his pursuit of seabirds, Michael Brooke has traveled all over the world, and also explores the latest science to better understand the lives of albatrosses, frigatebirds, cormorants, and other ocean wanderers. Illustrated throughout by Bruce Pearson, this guide answers such questions as: Where do puffins go in the winter? How deep do penguins dive? And from how far away can an albatross spot a fishing vessel as it awaits its next meal?
