Last Chance to SeeIn "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. |
