Book excerpt: "As Ezzy Skylar's mother lay dying, her father promised to take Ezzy and her younger brother, Luke, to all of the places on his wife's wonder-list, starting with the Galâapagos Islands. There's just one problem: while Luke loves all living things, Ezzy freaks out around wild animals. For her family, Ezzy must face her fears and walk with iguanas, swim with sea lions and sharks, and pretend to dance among blue-footed boobies. Things take a dangerous turn when hijackers take over their cruise ship. Ezzy, Luke, and Aiden, a teen they meet on the ship, are stranded on remote and wild Isabela Island, where an erupting volcano adds to the action and adventure. Ezzy must find bravery she never knew she had and rely on her little brother's help to make their way across the island in an attempt to rescue a ship full of tourists and the animals of the Galâapagos."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Indigenous Settlers of the Galápagos: Conservation Law, Race, and Society, Pilar Sánchez Voelkl offers an anthropological and historical account about the early arrival and prominent presence of Andean Indigenous people in the Galápagos Islands. Her research traces the stories of the earliest colonizers, who permanently settled on the archipelago, from the 1860s onwards. Sánchez Voelkl argues that their journey illustrates the way multiple notions of nature, race, and society interact to shape a social order in Darwin’s archipelago. Contrary to common portraits of the islands as an example of untouched nature, Indigenous Settlers of the Galápagos provides compelling evidence about the complexities about human and non-human relationships.

Book excerpt: Forget everything you thought you knew about Galapagos. Behind and beneath nature's laboratory lies an excruciating human history and a nebulous heart of darkness. In the years following World War ll, Galapagos was home to a death camp. Hundreds were banished to the islands and disappeared into the maw of a macabre punishment project, their remains unceremoniously dumped into a lava tube. In this historical essay, the authors and their motley crew set out on a hunt for feral pigs to the site of the most notorious encampment, now overgrown by the Galapagos National Park. As they descend into an abyss of human cruelty, they learn a remarkable story of unprecedented survival and escape. This is a travelogue of their journey within a journey within a journey. Olvida todo lo que creías saber sobre Galápagos. Detrás y debajo del laboratorio de la naturaleza hay una historia humana insoportable y un nebuloso corazón de oscuridad. En los años posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Galápagos fue el hogar de un campo de exterminio. Cientos fueron desterrados a las islas y desaparecieron en las fauces de un macabro proyecto de castigo, y sus restos fueron arrojados sin ceremonias a un tubo de lava. En este ensayo histórico, los autores y su equipo variopinto se lanzaron a cazar cerdos salvajes al sitio del campamento más famoso, ahora cubierto por el Parque Nacional Galápagos. A medida que descienden a un abismo de crueldad humana, aprenden una historia extraordinaria de supervivencia y escape sin precedentes. Este es un cuaderno de viaje de su viaje dentro de un viaje dentro de un viaje.
