The isolated location of the islands has allowed a vast number of species to develop that are original to each island, such as the marine iguana, the blue-footed booby, the magnificent frigatebird and of course the giant Galapagos tortoise, which may live to be over one hundred years old. Studied by Charles Darwin during his historic voyage on the \u003ci\u003eHMS Beagle\u003c\/i\u003e, the island life contributed to his groundbreaking theory of evolution. Today the islands are a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage site. \u003cbr\u003eThis book, part of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebest-selling series, is enhanced by eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map complete with four photographs on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMegan Stine has written several books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eWhere Is the White House?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWho Was Marie Curie?\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWho Was Sally Ride?\u003c\/i\u003e She lives in Clinton, Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 16, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Where Are the Galapagos Islands?\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Grades, 4-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756763906336,"sku":"9780606401036","price":22.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/72da4a3e555a8a1812d79090899b1bf0.webp?v=1780086144","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/where-are-the-galapagos-islands-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
