4.0 out of 5 stars
An enlightening read!, March 23, 2007
This review is from: Island: Fact and Theory in Nature (Hardcover)
This is an awesome book. I am visiting Guana Island and wanted to find some info about the flora and fauna of the Island before my visit. I got way more than I expected! I would have to quibble with the suggestion that this book is written for any lay person who just had a passing interest in the Island. You really do need to have at least an active interest in science and biology to really get into the book, it's not a particularly light read! If you are looking for a guide to take to the island, this is not the book either as the photographs are pretty limited. Having said all that, this is a great book which covers many thought provoking subjects and even if you have no specific interest in Guana Island it is still well worth reading.

Another great book by Lazell!, September 26, 2006
This review is from: Island: Fact and Theory in Nature (Hardcover)
This book is both informative and entertaining. This is a great example of how intensive study of a small geographic area can be incredibly useful in understanding how "islotated" ecosystems function in a larger ecosystem.
