The Future is Wild

[ffutures]

In the Oxfam bookshop this lunchtime I found a rather nice book called The Future is Wild - A Natural History of the Future by Dougal Dixon and John Adams, turns out to be linked to a TV show of the same name from the discovery channel:

The web site has some niceish wallpaper and other illustrations.

The book seems to be along the same lines as Dixon's "After Man", though the biology is rather different. More emphasis on invertebrates, especially molluscs. Not quite so cuddly, but I suspect a little more plausible.

Anyone know if there are plans to show this on UK terrestrial TV?

It's available on DVD in the US (my friends have a copy), and it looks like it's also available in the UK: you could always rent it.

the R1 triple DVD set looks pretty cheap - might buy that.
