内容紹介
This work presents intense, intimate encounters with penguins through Frans Lanting's lens.
レビュー
"This book is a personal interpretation of the penguins I met, rather than a natural history of all penguins," Frans Lanting writes. "I wanted to create an impression of who these penguins are and what they go through. I hope my work will be seen as an homage to the individual within them all.

この表紙の写真、ペンギン好きの人ならきっと目にしたことあると思います。中の写真も「この写真知っている!」というのが何枚かありました。「だったらいいや」ではなく、だからこそ、自分のものにしたい一冊で、この本を手元に置けてとても嬉しいです。多分、ペンギン好きの方ならきっとみんなそう思えるような写真ばかりです。もちろん、この写真集で初めて見る写真もありますし。
特にお勧めは、子供ペンギンの写真です。エンペラーペンギンがお腹一杯で満足げな顔をしている写真、ボールみたいにまん丸な茶色の毛がふさふさ生えたキングペンギンの立ち姿など、何度も見ても笑みがこぼれてしまいます。

また、風景もとても美しいです。青い氷の山をペンギン達が上っていく一枚、青い空と白い氷山をバックにエンペラーペンギンの親子がまるで語らっているかのような平和な一枚など、本当にきれいな写真たちです。
こんな本をプレゼントされたらきっとみんな喜んでくれるだろうなあという一冊です。

Penguins, penguins and more penguins
1999/12/3
By Martin Giphart
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ハードカバー
When you're fond of nature photography, in particular wildlife, then this book is great. Frans Lanting's pictures are fantastic; he is able to capture the essence of the life of penguins, particular those living at or in the vicinity of the South Pole. Mr. Lanting's style of photography is unique; he goes beyond pure registration as often seen in wildlife photography books and even beyond rules of composition. He makes portraits and tries to capture the soul of the animal in a picture. When you like his book 'Eye to Eye' you will also enjoy this book.

In Praise of Penguins from the San Jose Mercury News

Published Monday, December 27, 1999, in the San Jose Mercury News: Warm look at penguins' cold habitat
BY LINDA GOLDSTON
ABOUT this time last year, I told you about a wonderful book called ``Eye to Eye: Intimate Encounters With the Animal World'' by Santa Cruz photographer Frans Lanting.
Today I get to tell you about his newest, titled simply ``Penguin.''
Lanting has spent the last 20 years researching and photographing the worlds of wildlife and his books are gifts to the rest of us.
They take us up close to animals in their habitats, help us see in new ways how much we all have in common. The difference, of course, is that we get to learn these things while looking at his books in the warmth of our homes.
Lanting goes to the source.
``It hurts to breathe at minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit,'' he writes in ``Penguin.''
``Even if you are an emperor penguin, you have to hunch and huddle. If you are a human, you have to hide.''
At the time, Lanting lay inside a tent in Antarctica ``holding on to the poles. The blizzard outside has pushed the ceiling down to a few inches above my nose.
``I am uncomfortably aware that only a thin membrane of nylon separates me from conditions I could not survive. Yet outside there are baby birds. They are emperor penguin chicks, and I am here to document their lives.''
As a former photojournalist, I have no problem saying that Lanting's work is very special.
From the cover photo of an emperor penguin family to the series of king penguin chicks and numerous others in the book, ``Penguin'' is a celebration of the uniqueness of each bird, no matter how alike they might seem to the rest of us.
``There's a lot more than meets the eye,'' Lanting said. ``A penguin is not a penguin, is not a penguin.''
I've seen two of Lanting's books and quickly added both to my list of favorites.
Lanting is a photographer with a purpose. He won the Sierra Club's 1997 Ansel Adams Award for using his photography to further conservation.

Seen many macaroni penguins lately?
2003/5/5

形式:ペーパーバック
No, neither have I but you'll find them in Frans Lanting's beautiful paperback of penguin photos, along with the emperor, gentoo, king, magellanic, chinstrap, adelie and rockhopper, all in dazzling color. As he says in the books short introduction it is not a natural history of these amazing birds but a personal photographic interpretation shot over a ten-year period. The birds are shown in all weather conditions, as huge groups, ten or so and as individuals in very detailed close-ups. Naturally the close-ups of parents with chicks are the most appealing photos in the book.
Many of the photos have captions and rather strangely there are twenty-four pages at the back of the book with thumbnails of all the photos and detailed captions, I would have thought it better to use these pages for more photos and have a caption (where needed) on each page. Apart from this I think it is a lovely book of penguin photographs and excellent value too.
