“At the age of 24, Strycker has already studied birds on six continents and his evocative writing reveals enough wit, meticulous description, and passion to satisfy any nature writing enthusiast (particularly young ones).” - Publisher’s Weekly starred review
“Strycker, an accomplished birder, writes entertainingly about spending three exciting and strenuous months in Antarctica helping a research team study utterly charming Adélie penguins… Highly recommended.” - Library Journal
“The tone of this book is far from the doom-and-gloom you might expect… Strycker is already a self-confessed bird addict, but readers are in danger of becoming captivated too…” - Kitsap Sun
“Noah Strycker is going places, and he is taking us along for the ride. There is something fundamentally sunny about Among Penguins. This book will be a favorite for years to come.” -Ted Floyd, Editor, Birding magazine
“Cape Crozier, against the largest ice shelf on Earth, in the shadow of an extinct volcano, and at the doorstep of the least human-affected stretch of ocean remaining on the planet, is one of Earth’s power spots. It’s refreshing to get Noah Strycker’s impressions of this place through his day-to-day experiences; he definitely had all his senses tested.” -David Ainley, author, The Adélie Penguin: Bellwether of Climate Change
