The Gal pagos Islands are among the brightest jewels of the Pacific. Known for their unparalleled diversity of fearless, curious wildlife, the Gal pagos famously inspired Charles Darwin's theories of natural selection. A true bucket-list destination, the Gal pagos Islands have captured the hearts and minds of travellers from around the world.

In Gal pagos: A Natural History, Michael H. Jackson provides the essential guide to the flora and fauna of the Gal pagos Islands. Beginning with a comprehensive history of the environment, colonization, evolution and ecology of the islands, Jackson details the plant life, reptiles, sea, coast, and land birds, native mammals, intertidal and marine life, and invertebrates native to the islands in richly illustrated, easily navigable chapters. An index and checklist of plants and animals make this an essential companion for ecological excursions.

Including detailed exploration of the management and conservation of Gal pagos National Park and its rules and regulations alongside key information and tips for visitors, Gal pagos: A Natural History is a necessary guide for every traveller embarking for, or planning to visit, one of the worlds most stunning natural wonders.

Industry Reviews

Jackson tells delightful little stories through this unusual natural history guide. This is unusual because it's so uplifting. The Galapagos Islands are a place of wonder, with such rich, abundant wildlife and natural history that readers will yearn to experience them first-hand and not just through a book. But this guide will do for a start. [Here] is the kind of book that belongs in every nature lover's library.
