In this initial volume, we include chapters from scientists, managers, and conservationists that explore contexts and explanations of historical, contemporary, and alternative futures for the Galapagos Islands to set the stage for more focused books in the Series on topics ranging from evolution, history of scientific engagement in the Galapagos, tourism and population migration, and marine ecology of the Galapagos Marine Reserve.   While this book launches the Galapagos Book Series, it also offers a broad and exploratory statement of threats to the Galapagos Islands, such as invasive species and the direct and indirect impacts of human migration, as motivation for subsequent studies and books to benefit science and society in the Galapagos Islands, also with the goal of creating a global template to examine other similarly challenged island ecosystems around the world.   . 410 0$aSocial and Ecological Interactions in the Galapagos Islands,$x2195-1055 ;$v1 517 3 $aScience and conservation in the Galapagos Islands :$eframeworks and perspectives 606 $aSocial ecology$zGalapagos Islands 606 $aEcotourism$zGalapagos Islands 606 $aTourism$zGalapagos Islands 615 0$aSocial ecology 615 0$aEcotourism 615 0$aTourism 676 $a333.72 676 $a333.72098665 701 $aWalsh$b Stephen J$01408483 701 $aMena$b Carlos F$01750244 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437790603321 996 $aScience and conservation in the Galapagos Islands$94184835 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01111nam0 22002531i 450 001 UON00016566 005 20231205101958.95 100 $a20020107d1981 |0itac50 ba 101 $ahin 102 $aIN 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aDivya Darsan jivan mukta sahaj sant jnan ke agar aur anumuti ke ratnakar ki divya vani$fDevaraha 210 $aVaranasi$cSivan dvara prakasit$d1981 280 p.$cill. ; 27 cm 606 $aLETTERATURA MISTICA$xINDIA$3UONC001011$2FI 620 $aIN$dVaranasi$3UONL000332 686 $aSI VII A$cSubcontinente indiano - Religione e filosofia - Hinduismo$2A 700 0$aDEVARAHA$3UONV012005$0640864 712 $aSivan dvara prakasit$3UONV248361$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250711$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00016566 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI SI VII A 496 N $eSI SA 78666 5 496 N 996 $aDivya Darsan jivan mukta sahaj sant jnan ke agar aur anumuti ke ratnakar ki divya vani$91195665 997 $aUNIOR
