The wildlife paradise of the Galápagos Islands, long regarded as a mysterious and desolate place, is a showcase of evolution in action. A spawning ground for Charles Darwin's famous theory, the islands are now a National Park dedicated to the conservation of many unique species threatened with extinction. World-renowned expert on the Galápagos Pierre Constant has extensively revised and updated his best-selling guide to the region, introducing newly discovered species of marine life, with new information on the El Niño/El Niña phenomenon, the latest quarantine regulations, and the effects of the 2001 oil spill. This authoritative guide provides detailed descriptions of the geology and natural history of the archipelago, visitors' sites, spectacular sea and land birds, peculiar reptiles, playful mammals, and the amazing marine life. Constant's superb photography is an excellent complement to the text.
