Absolute classic
This book not only is an invaluable factual resource for anyone interested in turtles, it's written in Carr's delightful and completely readable style. He says, for example, about people who intentionally run over turtles, that there "is probably nothing much that can be done about these people except to hope they skid." A great book for anyone who loves nature, turtles, or just good writing.

A delightful book by a wonderful naturalist
Archie Carr was the Godfather of modern sea-turtle biology and an outspoken advocate of turtle conservation who did more than anyone else to bring our attention to these creatures. The Windward Road is a masterpiece of Natural History writing, capturing a magical moment in time as Carr delves into the secret lives of the great green turtles and takes us with him on journeys to Caribbean islands as yet largely unspoiled by the wave of development that was to come. Anyone interested in conservation biology or with a love of a good yarn should get hold of this book, sink back and hear the trade winds blow -and then get out of your chair & do something to carry on the struggle that Carr waged for so long to preserve turtles and their habitats. This is a book that you will come back to repeatedly & pass on to friends and students with enthusiasm.
