Product Description
Stealing History Part detective story and part meditation on the power of art and culture, this work is an account of how the past is being dug out from under. It takes readers on a journey through Iraq, Peru, Hong Kong, and across America, showing how the worldwide antiquities trade is destroying what's left of ancient sites before archaeologists can reach them.
