DOUGLAS ADAMS: Parrots, the Universe and Everything
University of California Television (UCTV)
Douglas Adams gives a talk at UCSB, recorded shortly before his death, about the odd lives of animals and what they suggest about humanity's future. It draws on his Last Chance to See work and is funny and wide-ranging.
Adams fans repeatedly call it one of his best talks, a funny and moving look at extinction and the environment.
