New York. 1990. Aperture. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0893814229. Introduction by Gerald Durrell. Essays by Alison Jolly and John Mack. 144 pages. hardcover. keywords: Madagascar Photography Africa. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This unprecedented work by Frans Lanting, one of the world's leading wildlife and environmental photographers, reveals the astonishing beauty as well as the wrenching conflicts of a paradise in peril. ‘May I announce to you that Madagascar is the naturalists' promised land? ' wrote the Frenchman Philippe de Commerson in 1771. ‘Nature seems to have retreated there into a private sanctuary, where she could work on different models from any she used elsewhere. There you meet bizarre and marvelous forms at every step. ' More than two centuries later this little known Indian Ocean island has gained world scientific attention as a unique laboratory of evolution. Home to Madagascar's spiny desert, baobab forests, and humid jungles are 8, 000 species of plants found nowhere else on earth, 400 species of reptiles and amphibians, half of the world's chameleons, hundreds of exotic birds and mammals, and two dozen kinds of lemurs which constitute a separate branch of primate evolution. Frans Lanting's extensive work in Madagascar has produced a treasure trove of spectacular images-IOO color photographs that illuminate an enormous dark area in our knowledge of history and evolution. Most importantly, they give vivid testimony to the need for conservation at a time when the Malagasy practice of tavy, slash-and-burn agriculture, threatens Madagascar as never before. Lanting's photographs and text are accompanied by highly informative essays: Dr. Alison Jolly, world authority on lemurs and Madagascar's natural history, discusses environmental perils and conservation efforts; Dr. John Mack, author and anthropologist with the British Museum of Mankind, contributes an essay on the exotic Malagasy culture. Gerald Durrell, renowned naturalist, says in his introduction to Madagascar: A World Out of Time: ‘It is essential that the rest of the world realize the biological importance of the island. and hurries to the rescue of this extraordinary corner of the planet. I know this book will help achieve that result. ' inventory #20278.
