This encyclopedia provides readers with a comprehensive look at the Gal ipagos Islands, from the wildlife and scientists that made them famous to the challenges and issues the islands face today.



In the mid-1800s, the Gal ipagos Islands served as Charles Darwin's playground, a volcanic archipelago where he famously worked on his theories of evolution and natural selection. But who actually discovered the islands? Why didn't any country claim them for more than 200 years? And is ecotourism hurting or helping these mysterious islands?


This volume explores the history, science, and culture of the Gal ipagos Islands. A preface, introduction, chronology, and "Gal ipagos at a Glance" primer introduce readers to the islands that are so famously associated with Charles Darwin. Twelve thematic essays allow readers to explore such topics as evolution, the geology of the islands, invasive species, and tourism in depth. Topical entries follow, covering key individuals and organizations as well as other important concepts and ideas.


Thirteen primary document excerpts allow readers to study firsthand accounts from explorers and visitors to the islands. Appendices, a glossary, a bibliography, and sidebars round out the text. Students of history, geography, and science will find this volume informative, while general readers will be intrigued to learn about these unique islands.

Good size for everyday use.
Comfy size. You can put your tablet in with ease, has plenty of pocket space for accessories. Fabric is water resistant. The appearance is exactly how it shows as advertised. Good quality which is worth the money. I use it for my Pixel 11 tablet.

Cute, functional, and well-made
I've had this for a while, and would actually like a larger one too for my laptop. This is very well made, with durable fabric, strong zippers and great padding. I can easily fit my Galaxy Tab S9 in its protective case in the padded section inside, my old Kindle Oasis with cover in the zipper sleeve outside, my Galaxy S23 Ultra, also in its case in the slim magnetic pocket outside. It also holds my charging cords, adapter and earbuds in the case. It fits a lot and is not bulky and easily slips into a tote. I'm glad I picked this up, and when it's not moving around, it's useful just for storing cords and accessories.

Looks sturdy and well-made - waiting to use
Not using this yet, but from examining it, this laptop sleeve appears sturdy and durable. The padded protection looks solid for keeping a MacBook safe. The design is versatile - works as a carrying case or travel bag. The handle is convenient, and it's lightweight despite the protective padding. Based on build quality and appearance, this looks like a reliable laptop sleeve. Highly recommend for MacBook owners!

Fits 11” iPad Air with keyboard case
Was looking for something that could hold not just my 11” iPad Air, but also hold it while in its keyboard case with flash sticks and storage for plugs and such. This fits everything perfectly, has good padding, storage pockets inside and out, and feels like a quality build.
