520    "Each disparate object described in this book-a Caspar 
       David Friedrich painting, a species of tiger, a villa in 
       Rome, a Greek love poem, an island in the Pacific-shares a
       common fate: it no longer exists, except as the dead end 
       of a paper trail. Recalling the works of W. G. Sebald, 
       Bruce Chatwin, and Rebecca Solnit, An Inventory of Losses 
       is a beautiful evocation of twelve specific treasures that
       have been lost to the world forever, and that, taken as a 
       whole, open mesmerizing new vistas of how to think about 
       extinction and loss. With meticulous research and a vivid 
       awareness of why we should care about these losses, Judith
       Schalansky, the acclaimed author of Atlas of Remote 
       Islands, lets these objects speak for themselves: she 
       ventriloquizes the tone of other sources, burrows into the
       language of contemporaneous accounts, and deeply 
       interrogates the very notion of memory"--|cProvided by
