Antiquities by Maxwell L Anderson
The destruction of ancient monuments by the Taliban and the Islamic State have shocked observers worldwide. Art historian Maxwell Anderson's Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know analyzes continuing threats to our heritage as well as a balanced account of treaties and laws, collections past and present, forgeries, and other controversial issues.
[Maxwell LAnderson] exudes expertise, writes with admirable clarity, and succinctly answers the series of questions that he has set... For once, the glowing puffs that adorn the back cover of the book are well deserved. Anyone with an interest in this topic should have a copy. * Peter Jones, Classics for All *
