The isolated location of the islands has allowed a vast number of species to develop that are original to each island, such as the marine iguana, the blue-footed booby, the magnificent frigatebird and of course the giant Galapagos tortoise, which may live to be over one hundred years old. Studied by Charles Darwin during his historic voyage on the <i>HMS Beagle</i>, the island life contributed to his groundbreaking theory of evolution. Today the islands are a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage site. <p/>This book, part of the <i>New York Times </i>best-selling series, is enhanced by eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map complete with four photographs on the back.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Megan Stine has written several books for young readers, including <i>Where Is the White House?</i>, <i>Who Was Marie Curie?</i>, and <i>Who Was Sally Ride?</i> She lives in Clinton, Connecticut.
