These poems take us on a trip to the Galápagos Islands that is once deeply spiritual while anchored the natural world. Stroble finds drama, humor, and love in everything from tee shirts that read I LOVE BOOBIES to the wonderful impertinence of iguanas and scientists-and the rest of us-who cannot contain our fascination with them. These superb poems show how philosophy, science, and a clear, theological eye can make wonderful literary art.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother reviewer writes: \"Paul Stroble has authored a terrific piece of expository writing, with a stunning sense of the history of science.
