London : 342 pages : illustrations rdacontent Text | txt rdamedia Unmediated | n rdacarrier Volume nc "This is a sweeping account of Madagascar past and present, from a land locked in the heart of Gondwana to its emergence as an island, from landscapes populated by dinosaurs to forests filled with the unique array of species alive today, and from a place unknown to people to one where human impact on the environment is a pressing concern. Alison Richard has immersed herself in research and conservation in Madagascar for nearly fifty years, and is an expert guide. Her book, seamlessly integrating scientific research and detailed natural history with personal experiences, shows both what connects this biodiversity hotspot to the rest of the world through time, and what separates it. Along the way, she reflects on how our world views shape the way we interpret evidence and the importance of the stories we tell about Madagascar in our understanding of this unique place and the conservation of its rich natural heritage"-- Provided by publisher 4878 MADAGASCAR 4879 NATURAL HISTORY lcc 002 85315 85315 0 0 lcc 0 0 MC 001 001 GEN 2025-09-26 Book Aid International 752434 0 QH 21.M28 Ric 752434 2025-09-26 2025-09-26 002
