On the Backs of Tortoises - Darwin, the Galápagos, and the Fate of an Evolutionary Eden

€ 24,50
In a world plagued by environmental crises, the Galápagos archipelago is often viewed as a last foothold of pristine nature. On the Backs of Tortoises tells the story of how the islands' namesakes - the giant tortoises - became iconic as living remnants of prehistoric nature. Yet the tortoises are not prehistoric. Their stories show that human and nonhuman life are deeply entangled.
