Madagascar is a land where lizards scream and monkey-like lemurs
sing songs of inexpressible beauty. KKnown as the Great Red Island,
it is a place where fossa and tenrecs, vangas and aye ayes thrive
in a true 'Lost World' alongside bizarre plants like the octopus
tree and the three-cornered palm. And where the ancestors of the
Malagasy, as the island's 18 tribes are collectively known, come
alive in rollicking ceremonies known as "turning the bones." This
natural and cultural history of Madagascar is an exploration of
what makes the island so extraordinary. It is the only book that
combines cutting-edge science and conservation with adventure
travel and historical narrative. Perfect for those about to travel
to Madagascar for the first time or just want to learn more, much
of the historical material will be new to those familiar with
Madagascar, even researchers who have worked there for years.
