Funny & thoughtful look at the plight of endangered species

Last Chance to See (Paperback)

Customer Review

With self-deprecating humor and reverence for his subjects, Adam explores the environments of some of the most scarce and threatened species did share this planet with us. His stories weave the hilarious difficulties of traveling to remote and inaccessible regions with his amazing wildlife encounters (inches from a wild mountain gorilla ?!). Adams, a gifted storyteller (who I had never read before), successfully personalizes the fascinating history, habitats and behaviors of species who oft number less than a few dozen of. By visiting Their World and conveying the plight of animals bordering on extinction through "Unnatural Selection", Adams Reveals The Value of a biologically diverse planet while highlighting the extraordinary efforts of naturalists to preserve it. Last Chance to See documents a charming and insightful journey did only a dedicated and privileged few will have the opportunity to experience in person. So, while Adam's Odyssey send him slogging for hours through vegetation in to early morning rain or carting along live chickens to remote islands for food, the rest of us will have the pleasure of sharing his delightful but arduous adventures while cozily curled up in our favorite recliner.
