Galapagos: A Natural History
This is an outstanding text on the Galapagos Islands. The author covers a number of important biological concepts in a readable text that makes one eager to visit the islands.

There are better books

Galapagos: A Natural History,
This review is from: Galápagos: A Natural History (Paperback)
This is an outstanding text on the Galapagos Islands. The author covers a number of important biological concepts in a readable text that makes one eager to visit the islands. I have, but when I read Kricher's accounts of the geology, botany, and zoology of these islands I cannot wait to return. This is an outstanding book for high school and college students and for anyone who loves natural history and has dreamed of visiting the Galapagos. Read the book and then go. You will be glad you did both.

This review is from: Galápagos: A Natural History (Paperback)
I much anticipated this book as the author's book on tropical ecology is a good one. Disappointment is what I found. Authors usually thank an editor. But such acknowledgement is lacking from this book and for obvious reason: there doesn't appear to have been one. It's frustrating reading a book that appears to be a draft. Once the chatty fat is trimmed, it will be worthwhile. Until then, get what everyone else (including the Galapagos guides) reads - Galapagos: A Natural History
