Trade Review"[E]ngaging and inspirational... The author makes one appreciate the fragile beauty of the fiery isles."--The Press "The book is elegantly structured: each chapter emphasizes one distinct aspect of the Galapagos in the hope that by 'displaying visually the essence of its splendid wildness,' the volume can serve as an inspiration to ensure the survival of the islands' threatened animals."--Scientific American "In words and pictures, De Roy captures the ethereal, haunting quality of the islands with their cold seas and burning rocks."--Ocean Realm
