Condición: Gut. 159 Seiten, zweispaltig, durchgehend mit farbigen und schwarz-weißen teils ganzseitigen Fotos, Inhaltsverzeichnis, Stichwortverzeichnis, Schutzumschlag, Großformat-4°, Widmung auf Vortirel, sonst gut Pinguine sind sympathische Tiere. Doch was ist das Besondere an ihnen? Durch ihre Proportionen wirken sie fast menschlich - immer gut gekleidet, an Land eher unbeholfen, aber stolz erhobenen Hauptes! Wir schmunzeln über die komischen Vögel - doch über ihr Leben wissen wir wenig. Dieser einzigartige Bildband schafft Abhilfe: Faszinierende Farbfotos geben Ihnen Einblick in die abenteuerliche Welt dieser Überlebungskünstlers. Sie lernen die verschiedenen Arten kennen und erfahren alles über den Lebensraum, Sozialverhalten, Ernährung, Fortpflanzung und Familienleben - lebendig, unterhaltsam und humorvoll beschrieben. Eine Fülle teils großformatiger Fotos zeigt das Verhalten der Pinguine in ihrem Lebensraum, aber auch bei wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen. Die lebendigen Texte vermitteln alle naturkundlichen Fakten und erzählen von Erlebnissen und Erfahrungen. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1210. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Centuries ago, when penguins were first encountered by European explorers, they were not thought to be birds but rather a fish-like relative. Subsequent accumulation of knowledge has shown penguins to be an avian species with unrivaled aquatic attributes, owing to a number of evolutionary adaptations: shape change, low drag, ability to regulate buoyancy, and extraordinary surface compliancy from their featheration. They are indeed the most extremely specialized diving bird, having given up flight (which otherwise is hugely advantageous) to the benefit of underwater prowess (such as speed, maneuverability and an ability to exploit an extraordinary range of depths). This flightlessness, however, also comes with costs that are substantial for a seabird (such as the inability to cover large distances quickly in reaction to ephemeral prey); and the energy needed to cope with moving through an aqueous environment, which is more resistant than air. For penguins, the high energetic costs inexploiting the ocean environment thus makes them especially sensitive to changes in food availability or their access to their prey.While a number of 'penguin books' cover the natural history, mainly of breeding aspects, few address in much detail the incredible aquatic nature of these creatures. A huge amount of information has been amassed over recent past decades thanks to dramatic advances in microelectronics, bio-logging and maturation of some long-term studies of penguin life history. This work represents an integration of all these data with charts, maps and graphs, along with richly illustrated photos by experts in the field.…
