The Wild World of the Future (Animal Planet)

Rating:
Summary: I'm sure the reviewer below looks
Review: I bought this book after reading The Future is Wild.
This book is much the same, but adapted to younger tastes. It also expains that although they may look "silly" as the reviewer below remarked, but are proven body designs that would supposably accually work, or somethin or another. Please do not listen to the adjacent and dissilusioned reviewer. Althogh, you would probably appreciate the book better if you read the other first.

Summary: A bit far fetched
Review: Many of the drawings of the creatures look like something out of H.P. Lovecraft. Speculation on what life on this planet will look like in the far future is kind of interesting, but many of the drawings looked silly to me...and the names -- "sharkopath?" ... "squibbon?"

Also what do Dougal Dixon and John Adams have to do with this book? I could not find them credited anywhere in the text or the verso page?

Summary: Geared more toward young people than the other TFIW book.
Review: Still, this book is a great summary of the ideas that TFIW's scientists came up with, and provides tidbits of interesting info on animals of today that correspond with those guessed at for the far future. A glossary nicely rounds out this highly worthwhile, fascinating book. Give it a read.
