Description

Historic preservation, which began as a grassroots movement, now represents the cutting edge in a cultural revolution serious about “green” architecture and sustainability.

That is the one book to hide the gamut of preservation issues in layman’s language: the philosophy and history of the movement, the role of presidency, the documentation and designation of historic properties, sensitive architectural designs and planning, preservation technology, and heritage tourism, plus a survey of architectural styles. It is a perfect introduction to the sector for students, historians, preservationists, property owners, local officials, and community leaders. Up to date all through, this revised edition addresses new subjects, including heritage tourism and partnering with the environmental community. 91 line drawings; 69 black-and-white photographs
