There are many books on the Galápagos Islands but Paul Stewart's work is certainly one of the most appealing and true representations of this famous spot in the Pacific Ocean. Naturally, Darwin occupies an important part of Mr. Stewart's prose, but equally impressive is the space given to extraordinary photos. This is not surprising given that Paul Stewart is first and foremost a photographer.

Whether this book can finally dispel the doubts of some people about evolution vs creation is anybody's guess but it will not be for lack of authentic facts as described by the author. The book is a real page-turner.

This book is the must for everybody who is serious about the galapagos, its beauty and future. The book is very enjoyable because of its beautiful photographs. Also, the authors' deep knowledge about the past of the archipelago, as well as one of the most famous human visitors, Charles Darwin, will give you a fascinating journey through the time. However, one of the highlights of this book is that the authors clearly address the uncertain future of the Galapagos with special references to our programmed selfishness, which the very Charles Darwin helped us to understand.

Fascinating book. Well-research and well-written. Don't go to the Galapagos Island without first reading this book. A Must!

Wonderful book.

Just discovered the words in the rating system. When I used one star, it was not to say "I hated it" but, because I hadn't read it/watched it, couldn't review it, and the Amazon system wouldn't allow me to send it off without rating it. Phooey.

If you want to take an exotic trip to South America to visit the Galapagos Islands, but can't actually afford the air fare and hotel accommodations, you'll want to sit back in the comfort of your home and enjoy "Galapagos: The Islands That Changed the World". The commentary was wonderful, and the colors, sites and scenes were magnificent.

This is one of the best nature documentaries I've ever seen and it left me yearning for more. If you have even the slightest love of nature and an interest in the ecology of our world, you'll want to see this outstanding DVD.
