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...
