Why read it?
1 author picked Galapagos Crusoes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I can barely remember when, as a child in the mid-1960s, I met a young couple of biologists who had just spent a year living in a tiny camp among the seabirds of Galapagos, devoid of contact with the outside world. Part diary, part behavioral field notes, Bryan’s enduring book, Galapagos, Islands of Birds has just been rewritten and expanded into a brand-new edition by his widow, over 50 years later — a charming and timeless volume.
From Tui's list on humanity and nature in the Galapagos Islands.
