Inhaltsangabe

This book outlines a complete programme for the restoration and preservation of historic structures and historic sites throughout the world. It is a basic text for both the novice entering the field and the specialist. Dr Fitch covers the many disciplines, concepts and technologies needed by the preservationist. He also includes discussions of the economic, legal and legislative forces acting upon historic district planning. He provides useful information on how old buildings can be moved (either intact or disassembled) to new sites via truck, rail or barge; how to heat, cool and light old buildings and still maintain the aesthetic integrity of their interiors; and how a country can develop a comprehensive policy for the care of its artistic and historic heritage.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Dr. Fitch is a wonder. Not only was he the first to codify historic preservation education for the last couple of generations, he is still the most thoughtful and articulate writer on its essence and purpose. He remains the most astute observer, and the most active mover and shaker in the field. This book brings his genius to life through practical example. What a legacy! -Adele Chatfield-Taylor, President
