Coco de Mer – Myth and Eros of the Sea Coconut
Much has been written about the Coco de Mer but unfortunately many of the often repeated ‘facts’about its growth and ecology remain unconfirmed by scientific study.This book is the first serious and complete scientific work of its kind and it gives me great pleasure to congratulate Dr Frauke Fleischer-Dogley on this achievement and Angelika Fischer on a wonderful series of images that perfectly evoke the unique atmosphere of the Vallée de Mai.The publisher Bernd Erhard Fischer has seamlessly combined art, science and history without compromise to produce a book which celebrates every aspect of the Coco de Mer.
