Hardcover Book
This is a book of datasheets on Malagasy mammals and birds. Alison Jolly, who collaborated on the project, explains in an email (a printout of which accompanies the book as a loose insert) that this publication came about when she pursuaded the Minister of Education that a flora and fauna book should be produced for schoolchildren. However, in the event, ORSTOM (Office de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique de Outre-Mer, the French office for scientific and technical research overseas) produced datasheets that were too technical for school use, and they came to be used primarily by university students instead.

Condition of Item
|
|
Very Good. Some pages strongly yellowed, others unaffected. Misbound: the index page for birds has been duplicated; furthermore, while the index page for birds lists 50 species, the final 12 data sheets are missing.
Refer to the glossary for definitions of terms used to describe the condition of items.
