Lost worlds : what have we lost, & where did it go?

Books
They go, they vanish - people, civilizations, languages, philosophies. Works of art disappear, species are extinguished, books are lost, things once thought immortal suddenly aren't there at all. 'Lost Worlds' is a glossary of the missing, a cabinet of absent curiosities. It weaves a web of everything we no longer have.
