Margaret Lowman, author of Life in the Treetops and co- author of It's a Jungle Up There: More Tales from the Treetops
"The definitive single volume on the Galapagos that
ecotourists and readers from all walks of life have been
awaiting."

Book Description
Accompanying the critically acclaimed BBC series, this book
describes and illustrates the Galapagos Islands in their entirety - from
their remarkable geological birth and tragic human history, to their
crucial role in modern science and conservation. More than being a general
background to the islands, this book shows why the Galapagos were a key
inspiration for Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, and why
their modern conservation is so important for us all.

The book also includes a full description of visitor's
sites, tourism opportunities, and common species - as well
as a wealth of natural history descriptions and curious
human and wildlife anecdotes. It is lavishly illustrated by over 200 of the
islands' best colour photographs. The foreword by Richard Dawkins is
followed by chapters written or consulted by acknowledged experts in the
fields of geology, conservation, marine biology, wildlife and history of
Galapagos. This book is the "must have" title on Galapagos for any Natural
History collection or for anyone interested in seeing the "islands that
changed the world".

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   I wish I'd bought this BEFORE the trip!, 13 Mar 2008 By  caz (london) - See all my reviews I've recently returned from the Galapagos, the islands & animals were amazing, but since buying and reading this book I realise there is SO much more I could have seen and should have been aware of! As well as being an up to date guidebook in its own right, this beautifully illustrated book also gives wonderfully written accounts of the islands' history, (mad murder mysteries), geology and nature (friendly sharks & the penguins' story is fascinating) as well as the main-man, Mr Darwin's star-turn on the islands! Excellent value - a book that delivers much more than just a spotter's guide. I would recommend it as both a reference and companion on a Galapagos trip - just buy yours before you go! (I'm as sick as a Galapagos finch...)  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
