Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams

Trade Paperback.  Highly recommended!  For those of you who loved Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide series, and his absurd sense of humor, here is a keenly observed and wittily delivered assay of a select range of endangered animals and the state of their world.

Join bestselling author Douglas Adams and zoologist 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.

"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
