Lost Worlds by Michael Bywater (BBC R4 )

This book is an A-Z of things we have lost, designed to dip in and out of. I was first attracted to it purely because Stephen Fry was complimentary about it, as displayed in a large quotation on the cover, but I'm glad I picked it up. The general concepts is that we're continually losing things, so Michael Bywater decided to compile a list of things we've lost.
