title: The World of the Penguin
author:  Jonathan Chester 
description: There are 17 species of penguins (none of which resemble Danny DeVito) and we meet them all in this colorful photo essay. Chester is not content to make dazzling pictures of these majestic birds, however; he is concerned with their behavior, their relationship with humans and clearly, their survival. Hunted for their meat and boiled for their oil in less enlightened times, Chester's fine feathered friends are still threatened by changes in climate, shifts in availability of food species and tourism. His concern for these delicate creatures is mirrored in his sensitive images of their mating, congregating, diving, swimming and waddling through blizzards.
