1.MadagascarMadagascar
from Bradt Travel Guides
Price: $9.48

Customer Review:
Well, there are only 2 English-language travel guides to the country around.
Of those two, Lonely Planet is downright awful and unusually poorly researched (see reviews there), so even if you are normally a faithful fan of LP guides, for Madagascar this book is definitely the one to buy. more info

from Bradt Travel Guides
Price: $14.61

Customer Review:
This book is a great introduction to Madagascan Wildlife - it gives a breakdown of the main National Parks and Reserves and what you are likely to see at each. Another section provides (limited) details of the Madagascan fauna. While I would have liked some more detail, for the price and size it is... more info

3.An Empire Divided: Religion, Republicanism, and the Making of French Colonialism, 1880-1914An Empire Divided: Religion, Republicanism, and the Making of French Colonialism, 1880-1914
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $31.08

Customer Review:
Defined as `ideas behind, motivations for and implementation of programs designed to reform and develop colonial societies,' French colonial ideology was not programmatic and did not borne out of revolutionary republican values. Instead, the case studies of Indochina, Madagascar and Tahiti and the... more info

During my years as a resident of Madagascar I had the great opportunity to meet and spend time with Allison Jolly, and also Helen Crowley and others and I get to know people who truly understand Madagascar and all that makes this land one of the most unique and wonderful places on earth.

This book is another interesting as well as entertaining product from Gerald Durrell, drawing on his lifetime as a collector and conservator of endangered and unusual wildlife. Well worth reading - several times!

7.The Eighth Continent: Life, Death and Discovery in the Lost World of MadagascarThe Eighth Continent: Life, Death and Discovery in the Lost World of Madagascar
from William Morrow
Price: $136.36

Customer Review:
I hate to disagree with the majority of the reviews, but I only found this book "okay." It's worth reading but it's not to rave about. The best parts deal with the Malagsy people, culture and history. The descriptions of the animals, plants, and ecosystems are weak. There are few photos and those... more info

8.Female Caligula: Ranavalona, The Mad Queen of MadagascarFemale Caligula: Ranavalona, The Mad Queen of Madagascar
from Wiley
Price: $16.16

Customer Review:
The author has given himself a luxury of attacking African and Asian cultures by ridiculing and demonizing their ancient rulers. History writing has no formulas like in science for this author to make us believe everything he is saying. There is absolutely an involvement of his beliefs and what he... more info

9.The Natural History of MadagascarThe Natural History of Madagascar
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $33.75

Customer Review:
The Natural History of Madagascar provides a very (maybe the most) comprehensive review of the, well, natural history of Madagascar. It does an outstanding job at that and is easy to read (my background is in medicine, so I might be a little biased). As previously mentioned, this is not a coffee... more info

from St. Martin's Press
Price: $7.82

Customer Review:
I read this when traveling to Madagascar to get a sense of what the place was like. I found this book to be very descriptive, informative and enjoyable. Heather is a frog researcher. I was a bit bothered by how frogs are marked and what I learned about frog research, but setting that aside the rest... more info
