From the reviews:
“This book, edited by Walsh (Univ. of North Carolina) and Mena (Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador), both associated with the Galįpagos Science Center, focuses on studies of the social and ecological sustainability of the islands. … Although the book’s purpose is foundational for future volumes in the series, it can easily stand alone as a valuable and needed overview of the complex human-environmental interactions in the Galįpagos. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.” (R. L. Smith, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), August, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
