On a remote outpost of the Galapagos, where Darwin received his first inklings of the theory of evolution, two scientists, Peter and Rosemary Grant, have spent 20 years measuring the beaks of generations of finches--to prove that Darwin did not know the strength of this own theory. "Spark(s) not just the intellect, but the imagination".--Washington Post Book World. 50 illustrations. Map.

#ReadJanuary Day 6: #DreamingofaWarmerClimate

This book won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction over a decade ago. It is about the evolution of finches on the Galapagos islands.

I am in the early stages of planning a trip to the Galapagos islands myself--hope to go in about six to eight weeks!
