Need Book-Help!

I just watched a documentary about Madagascar wild life and I’d like to know if someone could recommend a good - preferably academic - book on flora and fauna in Madagascar? Would be real awesome if you could let me know!! \ (^-^)/ thx

Here’s a book list to get you started:

• Madagascar Wildlife Bradt Guide
• Wildlife of Madagascar — I would not recommend this book for personal reasons, but it may be useful
• Birds of Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands
• Birds of the Indian Ocean islands: Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Rodrigues, Seychelles and the Comoros 
• A fieldguide to the amphibians and reptiles of Madagascar
• Mammals of Madagascar: a complete guide
• Ants of Africa and Madagascar
• Generic tree flora of Madagascar
• Field guide to the palms of Madagascar
• Field guide to the orchids of Madagascar
• Orchids of Madagascar
• Extinct Madagascar: Picturing the island’s Past

But I would be happy to help with other more specific recommendations should you need them.

because direct unfiltered sunlight may damage the older books and age them more quickly :)

« Show me a man or a woman alone and I’ll show you a saint. Give me two and they’ll fall in love. Give me three and they’ll invent the charming thing we call ‘society’. Give me four and they’ll build a pyramid. Give me five and they’ll make one an outcast. Give me six and they’ll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they’ll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home. »

that smells like books

LET ME SMELL YOU

There is actual a hormone in mold that is given off as books age. Humans are naturally attracted to that hormone, so that’s why a lot of people like the smell of books, and especially old ones.
