LAST CHANCE TO SEE
Book ID/图书代码： 04300015B81414
English Summary/英文概要： ’Douglas Adams’ genius was in using comedy to make serious points about the world’ Independent
After years of reflecting on the absurdities of life on other planets, Douglas Adams teamed up with zoologist Mark Carwardine to find out what was happening to life on this one. Together they lead us on an unforgettable journey across the world in search of exotic, endangered creatures - animals that they may never get another chance to see. They encounter the animal kingdom in its stunning beauty, astonishing variety, and imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the helpless but 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. Both funny and poignant, Last Chance to See is the tale of an unforgettable wildlife odyssey - and a timely reminder of all that we must protect.

Awards/获奖情况："In every case, the presence and personality of the endangered animals rise off the page - even when the authors don’t manage to find them. The writing may be witty, but this book is a sobering reminder of what a very great deal we have to lose" (Independent on Sunday)
About the Author/作者介绍： 道格拉斯•亞當斯（1952年3月11日－2001年5月11日）是英國著名的科幻小說作家，也是幽默諷刺文學的代表人物、第一個成功結合喜劇和科幻的作家。不過，他並不把自己定位為科幻作家，而是喜劇作家，只是把科幻當成喜劇的一種表現方式。同時他也是一位廣播劇作家和音樂家。
他尤其以《銀河系漫遊指南》系列作品出名。這部作品以廣播劇起家，後來發展成包括五本書的“三部曲”，拍成電視連續劇。亞當斯逝世後還拍成電影。
Douglas Adams created all the various and contradictory manifestations of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: radio, novels, TV, computer game, stage adaptations, comic book and bath towel. A major movie is currently in development hell and will almost certainly be released any decade now.
Douglas Adams lectured and broadcast around the world and was a patron of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Save the Rhino International. He was born in Cambridge, UK and lived with his wife and daughter in Santa Barbara, California, where he died suddenly on May 11th 2001.
