Beskrivelse
Discover 100 of the planet's most magical islands--their wildlife, trees, diversity, people, treasures, and more--in this beautifully illustrated book. From islands that have been taken over by animals to disappearing islands, islands made of shells, artificial islands, and even islands that were once prison colonies, this book takes you on an exciting tour of some of the smallest land masses in the world. Discover the Galapagos islands in Ecuador, home of giant tortoises, penguins, boobies of all colors. Or visit Jiangxin Park in China, a natural island with an awe-inspiring, giant bookshop. Islands great and small dot the seas and rivers of our planet and many of them have incredible stories to tell. Some are home to giant cities and others to colonies of cats or crabs. Scientific discoveries have been made on some, and pirates have hidden on others. This stunning book celebrates island life, history, culture, and diversity with fact files, rich illustrations, a world map, and a lavish gatefold spread. A glossary and index round out the title.
