No independent traveler or backpacker can be unfamiliar with the guidebooks published by Lonely Planet but probably not each of them traveling to Ecuador will be aware, when planning their visit to the Galápagos, of a thin (compared with other Lonely Planet guidebooks; it¡¦s just 150 pages) but specialized book for wildlife watching. Watching Wildlife Galápagos Islands is really what it introduces itself a book for bird-, whale- and dolphin-watching and wildlife photography plus diving and snorkeling.  I obtained this book from Hong Kong Public Library for planning my trip to the Galápagos.

¡§¡KYet when Charles Darwin visited in 1835 there is no guidebook to help piece together the evolutionary puzzle he saw before him.  Equipment with the book, we hope the modern-day visit will find explanations for the remarkable life forms that first piqued Darwin¡¦s curiosity, and continue to show an interest in and support for the unique islands.¡¨ ¡V from the author, David Andrew.

It is a truly handy guidebook helping wildlife watchers identify and understand the Galápagos and tame wildlife there.  No matter searching for the places where your favourite animals locate or the animals you are going to see at the places where you plan to visit, you can easily find the answer from one of the chapters (Nature in the Islands, Wildlife-Watching, Habitats, Islands and Wildlife Gallery) in this well-organized book.

(Note: The book can be borrowed from the Hong Kong Public Library or bought from Amazon as it may not be available in local bookstores.)
