Vanishings is one of eighteen volumes from the Time-Life book series Library of Curious and Unusual Facts. This series explores astounding but surprisingly true events in history, science, nature, and human conduct. This volume portrays the disappearance of people, places, and things. Chapter One focuses primarily on missing people such as Percy Fawcett, Amelia Earhart, D.B. Cooper, Jimmy Hoffa, and many others; this chapter also attempts to explain what may have happened to the ships Mary Celeste and the Carroll A. Deering. Chapter Two describes the disappearance of objects such as letters and money. Chapter Three looks at magic and the illusion of disappearance. Chapter Four portrays lost civilizations, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the collapse of Mayan civilization, and the disappearance of the Lost Colony at Roanoke in North Carolina. Chapter Five looks at mass extinctions in geologic history as well as human-caused extinctions; this chapter also considers the current state of endangered animals. In short, this book is a succinct and informative survey of missing people, places, and things. Highly recommended.
