| Summary/Abstract |
An island is about to be born - one that in time will become the home of plants and animals that exist nowhere else on Earth. This book is the biography of a Galápagos island, from birth, through adolescence, to adulthood, and beyond. It is also the story of the variety of unusual species that have made the islands their home. And finally this is about the process of sisland formation, species colonization and evolution.
