The Missing Musk

Bag om The Missing Musk

Bob Gilbert is a detective of the natural world. He's motivated by the curious, everyday phenomena found in wild places and by what these stories tell us about our relationship with nature. Mixing history, memoir and nature writing, The Missing Musk takes the reader on a journey of discovery, uncovering the truth behind mysteries and myths from across the natural world. From the darkest corners of Britain's churchyards to Scotland's Pentland Hills, Bob Gilbert travels the length of the UK, and beyond, seeking answers to questions that have intrigued him throughout his life. He walks in the footsteps of Victorian plant-hunters in search of the long-lost scent of the Musk plant, researches UFO sightings, peers into microscopes and delves deep into horticultural archives, and in doing so finds that, when it comes to mysteries, the most joy is often found in the search, rather than the answer it leads you to . . .
