"Darwin", Bertelsmann Verlag, Munich, 1st edition 2008, 528 pages. In his rousing science report, award-winning journalist and biologist Jürgen Nephew describes the emergence of the groundbreaking theory of evolution (keyword: "survival of the fittest"). Turtles play an important role, especially in the chapter “Galapagos” (belonging to Ecuador), the highlight of his journey. Right: Gerstenberg Verlag, Hildesheim, 3rd edition 2009 (for the 200th birthday of Darwin, 1809 - 1882, who visited the Galapagos Islands in 1835, at the age of 26), 62 pages, expert advice from Dr. Matthias Glaubrecht (evolutionary biologist), illustrations Magdalene Krumbeck, and there are also a number of interesting photos. Overall, a popular scientific work, also with good information about the giant tortoises on the Galapagos. Because of my great interest in Darwin, there is a third book "Charles Darwin Collected Works", published by Zweitauscheins, Frankfurt (only for mail order), permission for the licensed edition: Wunderkammer Verlag GmbH, Neu- Isenburg, with a Galapagos lizard on the front page, 1,370 pages. By the way: Darwin had a pet turtle.
