They are looking for just the right balance between humans and nature to lead the world to a sustainable future.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar off the coast of Ecuador lies a group of volcanic islands unlike any other. Home to species as diverse as giant tortoises, salt-snorting marine iguanas, and the birds that made Charles Darwin famous, the Galap疊os are a living laboratory for scientists working on the most urgent problem of our times: How can humans exist in harmony with nature on the only planet we are ever likely to have? Karen Romano Young, author of \u003cem\u003eAntarctica: The Melting Continent\u003c\/em\u003e, again takes to the field, visiting the archipelago to observe its environments first-hand and to interview the people who are lighting the way for the rest of us. Illustrator Amy Grimes brings Karen's experience into vivid visual life for those of us who haven't been there - yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Romano Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804661155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804661154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e What on Earth Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Karen Romano Young","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44890766115071,"sku":"9781804661154","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28f8c6ce-5c64-40d3-99a1-fbfc2056d063.jpg?v=1709739966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gal-pagos-islands-karen-romano-young-9781804661154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
