Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Very funny and moving...The glimpses of rare fauna seem to have enlarged [Adams'] thinking, enlivened his world; and so might the animals do for us all, if we were to help them live."

THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD

Join bestselling author Douglas Adams and zooligist Mark Carwardine as they take off around the world in search of exotic, endangered creatures. Hilarious and poignant--as only Douglas Adams can be--LAST CHANCE TO SEE is an entertaining and arresting odyssey through the Earth's magnificent wildlife galaxy.

Synopsis:

In "The Hitchhiker's Trilogy" and the bestselling "Dirk Gently" novels, Douglas Adams has taken his millions of fans on wild excursions through time and space. Last Chance to See continues the trip--but this time the place is Earth, the date is today, and every word is true. By turns a poignant and hilarious look at exotic, endangered creatures around the world.

Douglas Adams writes with wit and wisdom about the sad plight of the disappearance of a myriad of species on this Earth that we, as humans, are promulgating. It's a sad, heart-breaking but fascinating read. The only thing wrong with it is that there aren't more photos of the fast-disappearing endangered animals he and his cohorts go in quest of finding to document them in words.
