"It's likely that a book like this is the only way you might see many of these creatures for yourself." - Amateur Photographer This book of photographs puts the spotlight on a group of animals that is little-noticed, and undeservedly so: endemic species that exist only on their respective islands. Isolated from continents by the ocean, certain species have been able to evolve further and differently than their counterparts on the mainland, where they are subjected to far more threats such as predators and diseases. Over time, giants like the Indonesian Komodo dragon have evolved, which grows up to three metres long and weighs 70 kilos. The comet moth lives on Madagascar, and the odd King of Saxony bird-of-paradise flies around on New Guinea. The flightless cormorant on Galapagos, on the other hand, retracted its flight instruments over time because it had no need for them. Readers can expect a variety of animal beauty and extravagance. The following locations are included in the book: Island of Sainte Marie (Madagascar) Madagascar Philippines Lesser Sunda Islands (Indonesia) Aru Islands Regency (Indonesia) New Guinea Australia Tasmania (Australia) New Zealand Santa Catalina Island, Channel Islands (California, US) Cozumel (Mexico) Cuba Isla Escudo de Veraguas (Panama) Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) Falkland Islands Svalbard Archipelago Text in English and German.

At last...you were all waiting with 'bated breath' I know (my Boyle-Breath novels #1, 2, & 3 are all out now also)...here's my 3RD "WHOOP'S" collection of Apostrophe, Spelling, and other 'word' error slip-ups. Happily, it has got to the stage that (photographed) mistakes are being rectified by the perpetrators themselves (some have even spotted me, mobile in hand); and I have myself started to fix the odd (so far) fox's paw (see the all-too-brief 'Wrong +Fixed' input - Chapter 1) One hundred (plus) more mistooks caught in their prime bleakness for you, including the 'usual suspect' chapters of pure plain awful Ap and Sp errors; and 'abroad'...accidents Add a section of 'One Wrong One Right'; a section of 'Firm' headliners where they just don't seem to care about correctness anymore, and a compendium of my beloved 'Just Weird' cock-ups and we're laughing all the way...to the bank ('NOT ' says my Ed. also known as Edith my good wife). Laugh, cry, enjoy Buy?
