MADAGASCAR IBOOK: SNEAK PEEK

Wow, 300mb and 300+ pages of interactive multimedia goodness. My brother's Madagascar iBook has officially launched, and I hope you will buy the book and dive into the big, bright, and bold experience. iBooks have really gotten fancy, and this multimedia book has a video, zooming chapters, maps, photos and big pull quotes in addition to riveting true travel stories. The book is organized into chapters by different regions and diverse experiences. 

According to Kris, "The Big Red Island is a place of color-changing chameleons and lemurs that will scamper down trunks of tall ravinala trees to eat bananas out of your hand. There is magic there at dawn: when the sun rises out of the golden sea, and when Indri sing at first light, and in the way that rain clouds drift over the cliffs of the great escarpment. The nature, the culture, the richness of the land -- it's all a part of the mosaic that is Madagascar. Experience the magic of Madagascar in your living room, and pitch in to help save the Big Red Island: literally a place like no other. I’m all the more excited because for the first time ever, my Travelogue is appearing as an iBooks Store exclusive.

Capturing that quintessential essence of unfamiliar lands has always been hard: since the age of Great Explorers, travelers have sought to convey what it is like to actually find yourself ‘Out There’. Trust me: it’s harder than we make it seem to be! But now, at long last, technology has caught up with the challenge of bring you there. iBooks allow for the integration of rich multimedia content (photos, audio, video) into a truly interactive story-telling experience. This is the way I’ve always wanted to publish my books: accompanied by contextual photography, presenting the world in three dimensions.

Go Ahead! Take a journey with me to the edge of the world. Discover a new kind of travel literature, where the stories are just the beginning and every picture is worth a thousand words. Discover Madagascar. And help save it."
