Description: Madagascar: the Eighth Continent - Holiday reads and travel literature by Peter Tyson featuring cutting-edge science and conservation, endemic flora and fauna. This narrative explores the biodiversity of island wildlife, habitats, Malagasy cultural history and festivals, includes a details on pygmy hippo, lemurs, chameleons, aye ayes and baobabs.
Synopsis: 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.
