504    Includes bibliographical references and index 
520    The story of Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, the 
       inspiration behind Conan Doyle's The Lost World. Fawcett 
       was among the last of a legendary breed of British 
       explorers. For years he explored the Amazon and came to 
       believe that its jungle concealed a large, complex 
       civilisation, like El Dorado. Obsessed with its discovery,
       he christened it the City of Z. In 1925, Fawcett headed 
       into the wilderness with his son Jack, vowing to make 
       history. They vanished without a trace. For the next 
       eighty years, hordes of explorers plunged into the jungle,
       trying to find evidence of Fawcett's party or Z. Some died
       from disease and starvation; others simply disappeared. In
       this spellbinding true tale of lethal obsession, David 
       Grann retraces the footsteps of Fawcett and his followers 
       as he unravels one of the greatest mysteries of 
       exploration
