A lively, compact natural history of the islands and their role in evolutionary thought by a favorite author.

With chapters on human history, geology, setting, Darwin, tortoises, reptiles, birds, and sea creatures. In a clear tribute to Charles Robert Darwin, he takes his chapter titles from comments by Darwin scattered throughout the Galapagos section of Voyage of the Beagle.
