George Murray Levick
111 pages~2 hr 12 min read15 chapters$4.99
Stranded a year on the Antarctic ice, Murray Levick watched the Adélie penguins as no one had. This study records their social habits: the long fasting period, the crowded rookeries, the courtship and squabbles of colony life. Firsthand science from the heroic age of polar exploration. Sit among the penguins at the bottom of the world.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
