Natural Change and Human Impact in Madagascar

Rating:
Summary: malaza malagasy
Review: This book covers a wide range of topics for anyone interested in Madagascar. I've found it especially useful for general information about the island's paleo-history, as well as more specific information in my field of zoology. The editors have done an excellent job of organizing the material into a good flow of reading. Seems to be an easier read than the earlier "Key Environments: Madagascar" (1984). The "gloomy" outlook that may exist for the wildlife of Madagascar is not just presented to depress the reader, instead they present a positive outlook in their last chapter using Ranomafana National Park as an example. A must-have for anyone interested in this unique island (and with its interesting people, history, and animals, that should be everyone!).
