The Galapagos
ISBN: 9781781250549 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Formed of dramatic volcanic scenery and home to marvellous beasts, it is little wonder that the first name for the Galapagos archipelago was Las Encantadas: the enchanted islands. In this captivating natural history, Henry Nicholls builds up the ecology of these famous islands, from their explosive origins to the arrival of the archipelago's celebrated reptiles and ultimately humans. It's a story of change, as the islands are transformed from lava-strewn wilderness into a vital scientific resource and a sought-after destination for eco-enthusiasts. Charles Darwin's five-week visit to the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Giant pandas have been causing a stir ever since their formal scientific discovery just over 140 years ago. Yet in spite of humankind's evident obsession with the giant panda, it is only in the last few decades that scientific research has begun to show us what this mysterious, frequently misunderstood creature is really like. Henry Nicholls uses the rich and curious history of the giant panda to do several things: to ponder our changing attitudes toward the natural world; to offer a compelling history of the conservation movement; and to chart the rise of modern China on its journey...

In 1971 he was discovered on the remote Galapagos island of Pinta, from which tortoises had supposedly beenextinct for years.

The Galapagos: A Natural History
ISBN: 9780465035977 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Charles Darwin called it "a little world within itself." Sailors referred to it as "Las Encantadas"-- the enchanted islands. Lying in the eastern Pacific Ocean, straddling the equator off the west coast of South America, the Galapagos is the most pristine archipelago to be found anywhere in the tropics. It is so remote, so untouched, that the act of wading ashore can make you feel like you are the first to do so. Yet the Galapagos is far more than a wild paradise on earth--it is one of the most important sites in the history of science. Home to over 4,000 species native to its shores,...
