The World’s Last Mammoth and Other Missing Marvels

Description

Author: Mike Barfield
Publisher: Templar Books
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!
