Plundering Paradise: The Hand of Man on the Galapagos Islands | 
pickDespite its hyperbolic title, this is an interesting and balanced read about the effect of people on the Galapagos, including those who live there and those who take advantage of the islands in various ways. It combines history, current events, social commentary and the ordinary lives of locals. I'm glad to have read this before my trip next month.
