'Great Art Thefts' examines famous art crimes and the hunt to find the
thieves. Part of the Treasure Hunters series, 'Great Art Thefts' offers
a crosscurricular mix of science & technology and history, with a fun,
dramatic approach. Art thefts covered in the book include the Mona Lisa,
the Scream, the Millennium theft from the Ashmolean Museum, and the
greatest ever single art theft: the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
heist. The book also looks at the motives for these crimes, and the
measures that can be taken to protect valuable works of art from
unscrupulous criminals.
