"...will no doubt assist biologists and ornithologists in their research." Audubon Naturalist Society "This well-written account details the predator-prey interrelationships between breeding Adelie penguins and South Polar skuas at Cape Bird on Ross Island, Antarctica. Every conceivable aspect of these interrelationships is treated...deserves a place on the shelf of all students of predator-prey relationships." Science & Technology "This is probably the most detailed account of the interactions between any predator and its prey. Young and his team recorded the activities of skuas in tremendous detail...This is an important reference book for anyone working on penguins or skuas, and it will prove useful to other scientists interested in predator-prey dynamics." Kerry-Jane Wilson, Arctic Vol. 48.1 March 1995 "The overall result is that the reader can trust the conclusions brought forth...I recommend this book highly to anyone studying ecology of the antarctic fauna, predator-prey systems, and particularly for anyone beginning a study on a predator-prey relationship." Arctic and Alpine Research "...provides a comprehensive summary of some interesting and useful data, and emphasizes the complexity of the skua-penguin association. Perhaps the main value of this lies in demonstrating that there is still great potential for novel and exciting research on this particular predator-prey system." Tony D. Williams, Quarterly Review of Biology
