Join Dr Peter Fretwell and Lisa Fretwell on Thursday the 25th of September at Heffers Bookshop to dive into their new book, The Penguin Book of Penguins - a charming, illustrated exploration of the bird, releasing the same year as Penguin's 90th anniversary!
There’s something about penguins. Maybe it is their comical waddle, or the fact that their upright gait makes them look like humans. Whatever the reason, their cult following around the world is indisputable.
The Penguin Book of Penguins
is a joyful, informative book that introduces us to the main species of penguin and the fascinating lives they lead: their history, evolution, behaviours and habitats. Peter Fretwell has discovered almost half of the world’s emperor penguin colonies, and through his published research he knows that penguins can convey an urgent message about the importance of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to the world’s climate, with a strong ecological message running throughout the book.
As leading British Antarctic scientist Peter Fretwell shows, many of the distant places penguins inhabit face threats to their existence through human interaction and climate change. It’s time we learned what the future holds for these most beloved of birds, whilst also indulging in the joy they illicit.
Lisa Fretwell, Peter Fretwell's artist wife, has beautifully illustrated the book, bringing the characterful birds to life.

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

Trinity College

苏河家园

Travel into Trinity College, Cambridge, with not only beautiful atriums and fountains, but also ancient libraries. The college, built by King Henry VIII of England, has been through the storm and has become one of the largest, most financially powerful and most reputable colleges in Cambridge University. Its deep academic heritage and remarkable historical status are unique and worth a visit.

King's College Chapel

M22***79

This is where the British king is crowned. Many members of the British royal family and aristocracy are buried here. The architecture is magnificent and worth a visit for those interested in European history and culture.

Mathematical Bridge

Visit the &quot;Mathematical Bridge&quot; attraction at Cambridge University. The bridge cleverly connects the college buildings on both sides of the Jianhe River, which connects not only the physical bridge of the college, but also the history and modernity, and is worth a visit.
