Reviews
A gripping tale of the birthing years of the environmental movement in Madagascar. Alison Jolly is a great story-teller, and brings to life the first studies of the unique wildlife of Madagascar. Sometimes provocative, often funny and always with wisdom about human nature, this tale is history at its best, a first hand view of the intrigues of complex politics and the drive of determined researchers at the frontiers of wild science. The pathos of human poverty and the richness of wildlife are one story, and Alison Jolly brings you Madagascar with all its complexities., Amounts to more than the sum of its wildly detailed parts. It's not just Jolly's memoir; it's a memoir of the conservation movement in Madagascar. It extends beyond the personal to capture cultural, political, scientific, and environmental history. . . .this history is shaped by its historian's perspective: astute, humorous, observant, optimistic., A captivating and absorbing account that reveals how the people and the land of Madagascar captured her heart., 'A captivating and absorbing account that reveals how the people and the land of Madagascar captured her heart.' Sir David Attenborough 'Without a doubt one of the very best books about conservation. It ranges from the author's work with Madagascar's fascinating and unique lemurs, efforts at all levels to protect their habitat, sympathetic descriptions of village life, and the often highly amusing stories of what goes on behind the scenes during high level meetings. The information presented in diary form makes you feel you were present, sharing the excitements, disappointments and triumphs that are part of the on going struggle to save the environment. And for those of us who knew and loved Allison, it is as though she is with us still, suggesting we do our best to save this planet for our children. I was truly absorbed from start to finish.'

The tone is, by turns, lyrical, comic and irreverent while musings on the biggest issues sit beautifully alongside family moments, parties, and times when, confronted by tragedy, there was a need "to write all the feelings away".

Geographical 'The brutal honesty exhibited in her personal diaries and letters include both the successes and struggles of undertaking conservation in a developing country....vivid and beautifully written. So much so that it brought me to tears more than once, from both sadness and laughter.'

Great collectors' piece of Centrefolds from the beginning to 2016, until Playboy decided to go non-nude (and then they decided to go back to nude photography a year later). Great coffee table book or great prop for photoshoots.
