Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

Join Douglas Adams, bestselling and beloved author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and zoologist Mark Carwardine on an adventure in search of the world’s most endangered and exotic creatures.

In this book, Adams’ self-proclaimed favourite of his own works, the pair encounter animals in imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the lovable kakapo of New Zealand, the blind river dolphins of China, the white rhinos of Zaire, the rare birds of Mauritius island in the Indian Ocean and the alien-like aye-aye of Madagascar. Inimitably witty and poignant, Last Chance to See is both a celebration of our most extraordinary creatures and a warning about what we have to lose if we do not act soon.

Featuring a fantastic new foreword by the authors' long-time friend Stephen Fry, and an afterword from Mark Carwardine that considers what has changed since the book was first published, Last Chance to See feels more urgent than ever before.

‘Douglas Adams’ genius was in using comedy to make serious points about the world’ Independent

I have always wanted to read/listen to this book ever since I watched Douglas Adams' speech University of California speech and the documentary series Last Chance to See with Stephen Fry and Mark Cawardine. It is a stark realization of the impact we have on the existence of endangered species and the well being of the world itself. It is frustrating to acknowledge that human intervention and invention that is void of moral compass is aimlessly damaging the world. And yet it also human intervention and invention of dedicated individuals that are saving some of the dying species, restoring their numbers from extinction.

A good experience, the subtle humor keeps us going, amongst the beast that nature is when the filters gets removed.

A book from a few years ago. Douglas Adams is a master story teller.
Sadly mankind has not yet learned that if we insist on trashing our environment for a fast buck, it will eventually come back to bite us.
Well worth a listen.

Amusing Educational and a lesson for us all

No clue who starts it off but i could not bare it.
He sounds so whiny...
Listened in the past to the version read by that author and I loved it!
Great story, a log of humor.
But this version i cannot stand.

Hate it because of the narrator.
