description: Patagonia, the vast region at the southern tip of South America, is one of the last truly wild places in the world. This book focuses on one coastal region of Argentina that offers at least seasonal housing for an incredible wealth of sea birds (half a million Magellanic penguins), sea mammals (countless elephant seas and hundreds of endangered southern right whales) and land mammals (the guanaco, a smaller relative of the camel, is found here). This is the first photographic essay of the wildlife of the region, the result of the photographer's two years of living in a remote ranger's cabin on a cliff towering over the Southern Atlantic Ocean. All photographs are color. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
