Stewart and five coauthors first decide the geological journey thatsets each island's lifespan from volcanic birth to death and burial. Then they narrate what theylabel 'the human history of the Galapagos' and explain how Charles Darwin revealed the islandsas a land of riches and triggered a revolution of scientific thought. In the next three chapters theauthors introduce the wild occupants of the islands--giant tortoises, iguanas, cavefish, championmockingbirds, Galapagos hawks, short-eared owls, lava lizards, flightless cormorants, blue-footedboobies, and ghost crabs, to name a few, along with many rare cacti, flowers, and trees. Theauthors also discuss the importance and fragility of the islands. Add to this 150 magnificent colorphotographs, and you have a special treat of a book.
