Last Chance to See
"Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine's book Last Chance to See is an account
of the authors' travels to view endangered species. The CD ROM version is
simply the text of the book, read aloud by Adams (also the author of The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and accompanied by a slide show of
photos. Adams is an engaging speaker, making you laugh out loud as he
describes difficult traveling conditions or the kakapo parrot's mating
problems."
"Last Chance to See" was originally a radio series, and the book
was written subsequently from the series. Recent sources state that
the series first ran in 89/90 on the BBC, and featured Douglas Adams
and Mark Carwardine chatting, joking, and describing what is going on.
Featuring Douglas Adams reading the voice, information on the animals
by Mark Carwardine, and numerous photographs. Available for the Mac
and Windows from the Voyager Company, and some software stores.
