Join them as they encounter the animal kingdom in its stunning beauty, astonishing variety, and imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the helpless but loveable 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. Hilarious and poignant—as only Douglas Adams can be—
is an entertaining and arresting odyssey through the Earth’s magnificent wildlife galaxy.
“Lively, sharply satirical, brilliantly written . . . shows how human care can undo what human carelessness has wrought.”
“These authors don’t hesitate to present the alarming facts: More than 1,000 species of animals (and plants) become extinct every year. . . . Perhaps Adams and Carwardine, with their witty science, will help prevent such misadventures in the future.”
“Very funny and moving . . . The glimpses of rare fauna seem to have enlarged [Adams’s] thinking, enlivened his world; and so might the animals do for us all, if we were to help them live.”
“[Adams] invites us to enter into a conspiracy of laughter and caring.”
“Amusing . . . thought-provoking . . . Its details on the heroic efforts being made to save these animals are inspirational.”
