Antarctica: A Travel Survival Guide - Tapa blanda

A parody of Lonely Planet travel publications and political satire focusing on global warming and penguins in Antarctica. Review Absolutely hilarious. Loved this book and a great gift for anyone. Young or old. Very relevant and really makes you think about our future whilst also having a laugh. Great value too. Made a great xmas present for my family.
