An identification guide

Andy Swash (photographer) and Rob Still (computer design wizard) have teamed up to produce the handiest and most authoritative guide to the wildlife of these enchanted islands. They have pioneered the use of computer enhanced photographs, which combine the advantage of a photograph as an accurate record of an individual, with the artist's ability to stress those features that are representative of the species. In one pocket-sized, 168 page, full-colour photographic guide you have all you need to identify almost all of the archipelago's wildlife including every living species of bird, mammal and reptile.

And since publisher WILDGuides are a non-profit organisation which supports conservation throughout the world, you are helping ensure that the wildlife you enjoy today will still be there for others to enjoy tomorrow. In this case, all profits support the Galápagos Conservation Trust & Charles Darwin Research Station. Check out WILDGuides' other titles, all of which share the enhanced photography approach.

The perfect guide for the curious visitor and expert alike.
