Product Description
Review
Galapagos: A Natural History will do well when packed alongside a couple of field guides and a pair of binoculars. Its lucid and crisp chapters on the islands' origins and geology, human history, Darwin's findings and the flora and fauna will give the background story to visitors.
(Tim Dee Times Literary Supplement )
Beyond the wry anecdotes of human involvement in the Galapagos, there is a wealth of lucid natural history in this fine book. Kricher covers all the essentials ... [and] provides the clearest explanation I have ever seen of how the ocean currents affect the Galapagos climate, nutrient availability and biogeography.... Kricher has provided the best available introduction to Galapagos natural history.
(Kenneth S. Saladin National Center for Science Education Reports )
Review
This is an excellent book for the many ecotourists visiting the Galápagos who want an intelligent and stimulating account of the islands and their animals and plants. It is written in a clear, accessible, interesting, and yet scholarly style.
(Peter R. Grant, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, and author of "Ecology and Evolution of Darwin's Finches" )
