從古文明遺跡到都市傳說，本書彙整一則則關於「消失」的故事。Library of Alexandria的典籍何在？Amelia Earhart究竟飛向何方？傳說中的Loch Ness Monster是否仍潛伏水中？這些疑問交織成一場跨越時空的探索。
本書同時提醒我們，許多事物雖然遠去，卻以另一種形式延續。恐龍化為化石，渡渡鳥留下近親Nicobar pigeon，昔日的集體狂熱，也能在當代流行文化中找到回聲。內容深入淺出，帶著輕快幽默的語氣，讓閱讀如同一次知識尋寶。
From the missing pages of the Library of Alexandria to the whereabouts of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, The World's Last Mammoth and other Missing Marvels is a treasure trove of mysterious and long-gone things: absent animals, bygone buildings, missing monarchs, past palaces and more... But all is NOT lost - along the way you'll also find the survivors and modern marvels of things gone by.
Explore the lost splendour of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, ponder the fate of historical figures like Cleopatra or Genghis Khan and unravel the mystery behind Amelia Earhart's disappearance. And while we may no longer have dinosaurs, we have fascinating fossils to ogle at instead. We can call the Dodo's closet-living relative, the Nicobar Pigeon, and even though the dancing plague of 1518 is long gone, dance trends like Gangnam style still spread like wildfire today.
This book is a thrilling exploration of things long gone but never forgotten. Be warned - you may find yourself getting lost in laughter along the way!
