What a wonderful travelogue! As an author who specialises in Mauritian topics, I was really intrigued to discover a book about Mauritius written by an American. I always imagined that Mauritius would be too far off the beaten track to interest our cousins from across the pond, especially as they have the Caribbean and Polynesia on their doorstep. It was therefore very refreshing to find a work which takes in a brand new perspective on the island. Not only does the author, "get" the island of Mauritius he is sensitive to describing it's unique situation. This isn't your usual travel book about Mauritius. It isn't your average ecological pamphlet about Extinction. By combining a brief history of the island, a balanced anthropology, a study of the rare and exquisite flora and fauna of the island and the infamous legend of the Dodo, Tom Parker has created a very accessible and enjoyable read for all. I for one am very impressed and glad I purchased Dodo Destiny. If you'd like to find out more about Mauritius or are looking for a book to supplement your knowledge, check this one out.
