 Go to the Galapagos Islands
 From the Princeton Field Guides to Birds series. The Galapagos is a truly special place. Unlike the rest of the world's archipelagoes, it still has 95 percent of its prehuman quota of species. This book is the most superbly illustrated and comprehensive identification guide ever to the natural splendor of these incomparable islands- islands today threatened by alien species and diseases that have diminished but not destroyed what so enchanted Darwin on his arrival in 1835. Wildlife of the Galapagos reveals the archipelago's strking beauty through its 400 color photographs, maps, drawings and well-written, informative text. "[Today] you'll find more than a dozen recent field guides to the wildlife of this most famous of archipelagos. But of general guides, Wildlife of the Galapagos is by far the most complete and convenient... it manages the delicate balance between breadth and depth, while covering all major groups of both land and marine animals and plants."
