The penguins
Watched yesterday it’s okay for a Jim Carey movie with his usual type of humour that u expect from him but for me the real stars of the movie are the penguins they steal every secene they are in which made me laugh even more

Even though I'm a scientist I rarely read non-fiction for down time. But when I saw this book pop up, I thought "Penguins. Homosexuality. This sounds interesting." It's a common misconception that penguins mate for life and this book first explores this misconception. By following a number of key people who's sole mission was to be the first at the South pole, Lloyd Spencer Davis narrates finds of penguins, extreme conditions and human responses over a number to voyages. Lloyd Spencer Davis also interjects with his studies of adiele penguins and his research into the people who contributed towards the voyage and research of adiele penguin mating rituals and habits by the first ever penguin biologist, Levick. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was easy to read with elements of humour and some beautiful language to describe the terrain. My only criticism is that it would have been beneficial to include a map of Antartica to get a judge of distance and bearing to help visualise the journies more.
