A quality production. Words and pictures would hold up on their own but together we get an eye popping glimpse into these famous islands and the wildlife that has played a role in perhaps the single best idea anyone ever had.

In particular I appreciated the discussion of bio-geography which was one of the key bits of evidence that Darwin had spotted and covered in "The Origin" but which is so often glossed over nowadays.
