Summary

Missing Art explores the shadowy world of stolen and lost masterpieces, revealing the hidden stories behind their disappearances and the ongoing efforts to recover them. The book delves into the motivations driving art theft, from economic incentives to historical circumstances, and examines the complex web of international law enforcement involved. Readers will discover how the absence of these artworks severs our connection to the past, diminishing our understanding of history and impoverishing our collective identity.

 
The book approaches the subject through a combination of detailed case studies, historical analysis, and legal examination. It traces the evolution of art crime from wartime looting, particularly Nazi-era plunder, to sophisticated modern heists, such as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist. By examining the challenges of art recovery and the legal battles that ensue, Missing Art highlights the ethical implications of art ownership and the responsibility of collectors, museums, and governments in safeguarding cultural heritage.

 
It begins by introducing key concepts and culminates by urging readers to become more aware of threats and support efforts to protect and preserve art.

    Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones. But while warfare might be costly it has also, at times, been an important driver of economic change and progress. Over the long span of history nothing has shaped human institutions—and thus the process of economic development—as much as war and violence. Wars made states and states made wars. As the costs of warfighting grew so did state structures, taxation systems and national markets for debt. And as warfare became ever more destructive the incentive for governments to resort to it changed too. 
 
Blood and Treasure looks at the history and economics of warfare from the Viking Age to the war in Ukraine, examining how incentives and institutions have changed over the centuries. It surveys how warfare helped drive Europe's rise to global prominence, and it explains how the total wars of the twentieth century required a new type of strategy, one that took economics seriously. 
 
Underpinning this riveting narrative is a focus on how and why the economics of conflict have changed over time. This is a story of how economics can help to explain the motivations of war, and how understanding the history of warfare can help explain modern economics.

    America's Cup: Trials & Triumphs is a concise history of some of the most interesting of the international struggles for possession of the acclaimed Cup. But more than that, Simpson writes about the ingenuity and technical advancements made over the years in hull and sail design for swift oceangoing sailing yachts. Not satisfied by relating only the history of the America's Cup challenges and defenses, Simpson illustrates some of the interesting events that have changed commercial sailing into the popular sport of sailboat racing. A sport that was once the singular pleasure of wealthy barons of industry is now enjoyed by thousands of middle-class citizens from many nations with access to the sea. Also included in this volume are sailing techniques, maneuvers and useful nautical terminology.
