In her engagingly written guide, she takes you to all the important sites, describing the plant and animal life to be seen and the experiences to be had in each area. Includes maps and color photography. Stephenson is brilliantly equipped to act as both armchair and practical guide to the Galapagos Islands, one of the worlds best remaining magic places. If youre going or thinking of it, or just want a vicarious experience, this book is required reading.
