Why read it?
1 author picked Galapagos Crusoes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I can barely remember when, as a child in the mid-1960s, I met a young couple of biologists who had just spent a year living in a tiny camp among the seabirds of Galapagos, devoid of contact with the outside world.

From Tui's list on humanity and nature in the Galapagos Islands.
