Lonesome George: The life and loves of a conservation icon
by Henry Nicholls
Lonesome George is a Galapagos giant tortoise - the last of his kind still alive - and a conservation icon. Ostensibly the torrid tale of his life and loves, this beautiful book is more importantly an exploration of our troubled relationship with our fragile planet. With warmth and wit, leading natural history journalist Dr Henry Nicholls captures the mystery and complexity of the Galapagos Islands and conservation worldwide. Join him for a riveting story of buccaneering naturalists, combat on the high seas, Charles Darwin, hostages, cloning, conservation, DNA fingerprinting and ecotourism.
