Biographie de l'auteur :
After years of reflecting on the absurdities of life on other planets, Douglas Adams teams up with zoologist Mark Carwardine on an expedition to find out what's happening to life on this one.
'Descriptive writing of a high order ... this is an extremely intelligent book' The Times
'Who would have thought that a book in the field of "ecology/nature" ... could be as lively, sharply satirical, brilliantly written and even funny as this one? ... ranks with the best set pieces in Mark Twain' Atlantic Monthly
'This is life or death stuff, but Adams is a writer who chooses not to sharke his finger at the reader. He fails completely in the self-righteous-piety department. Instead he invites us to enter a conspiracy of laughter and caring' Los Angeles Times
'It is a book one reads in a rush, always looking forward to the next perverse paragraph, wise insight or felicitous phrase' The Canberra Times
'Last Chance to See brings out the best in Adam's writing ... constandly sprinign on the reader the kind of dizzying shift in perspective that was the sock in trade of Hitch Hiker' The Listener
DOUGLAS ADAMS was born in Cambridge in March 1952. He is best known as the creator of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which started life as a BBC Radio 4 series. The book went on to be a No. 1 bestseller. He followed this success with The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (1980); Life, The Universe and Everything (1982); So Long and Thanks for all the Fish (1984); Mostly Harmless (1992) and many more. He sold over 15 million books in the UK, the US and Australia. Douglas died unexpectedly in May 2001 at the age of 49.

Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine lead us on an unforgettable journey in search of the world's most endangered species.'Descriptive writing of a high order. this is an extremely intelligent book' The TimesJoin 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 Takes you on a journey across the world in search of exotic, endangered creatures - animals that they may never get another chance to see.
