The natural and history of the Galapagos Islands - precious holiday spot, fiery volcanic string, and one of the critical sites in the annals of technology The Galapagos were once recognized to the sailors and pirates who came across them as Las Encantadas: the enchanted islands, home to amazing creatures and dramatic volcanic landscape. In The Galapagos, technology copy writer Henry Nicholls offers a exciting natural and history of the archipelago, charting its development from deserted wilderness to scientific reference (made famous by Charles Darwin) and global ecotourism hot spot. He identifies the island chain's fiery geological roots as well as the long record of human connections with it, and pulls stunning portraits of the Galapagos' diverse life forms, acquiring its awe-inspiring landscapes, its understated flora, its stunning wildlife and, crucially, the foundation of new species. Finally, he considers the enormous challenges facing the hawaiian islands and what sits ahead. Nicholls demonstrates what goes on in the Galapagos is not only an isolated concern, but reflects the continuing future of our species' relationship with dynamics - and the fate of our planet.
