Galapagos: The Islands That Changed the World
4
Rocky, fragile, beautiful, strange—the Galápagos archipelago is unlike any other place on earth. Its geology, its unique flora and fauna, and its striking role in human history intersect in surprising and dynamic ways. This book is the most wide-ranging and beautifully illustrated book available on the famous islands. Not since Darwin’s Naturalist’s Voyage has a book combined so much scientific and historic information with firsthand accounts that bring the Galápagos to life.
Galápagos: The Islands That Changed the World describes how tragedy and murderous pirates curtailed settlement of the islands and how the islands’ pristine nature, spectacular geology, and defining isolation inspired Darwin’s ideas about evolution. The book explores the diverse land and marine habitats that shelter Galápagos species and considers the islands’ importance today as a frontier for science and a refuge for true wilderness.
The book’s extensive gazetteer provides details about endemic plants and animals as well as travel advice about visitors’ sites, diving, photography, when to go, and what to take. Vividly illustrated throughout, this guide is an indispensable reference for natural history enthusiasts, armchair travelers, and island visitors alike.

Question: What are “shared bathrooms” like in New York City hotels?
My girlfriend and I are traveling to New York City in may and are a looking for a deal in Manhattan. There seems to be a handful of decent rooms available that are under $ 200, but many of them have shared bathrooms. Having never stayed at such a hotel I am obviously a little apprehensive about this, so if you’ve stayed at a shared bathroom hotel what are they like in general?

Answer by missyofallainhouse
Like you see on tv. There are generally five rooms that share a bathroom. So, think of living with ten people (two to a room) and sharing a bathroom. Sometimes, though, they have stalls instead of just a single. So, be sure to call and ask questions.
