The work is the completely revised and newly illustrated edition after 1960, Christian Brandstätter Verlag, Vienna (2013), 307 pages (the photo on the cover is from 2005, however). As early as 1953/54 he took part in the expedition to the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) led by the world-famous oceanographer Hans Hass, making a total of around 30 trips there. The book contains larger chapters on "Into the Kingdom of the Elephant Tortoises" and "Charles Darwin Station in the Galapagos". His life's work is enormous and the awards are extensive, so only the honorary award from the Heinz Sielmann Foundation (especially for his efforts) will be mentioned here the Galapagos Islands). Quote from the SZ: "The native of Vienna was one of the early pop stars of science." He was also very interested in art. I have the volume "Weltsprach Kunst" (together with Christa Sütterlin) from him, C. Brandstätter Verlag, 2008, 542 pages with over 800 illustrations.
