Great Introduction to PreservationBy AradorThis book provides a very solid overview of the historic preservation movement in American. It has chapters on architectural styles; the foundation and history of preservation; the legal process of listing sites; the Register of Historic Sites; the differences between historic districts; landmarks; and areas; and preservation economics and planning. The book covers the long term issues typically associated with preserving historic buildings and it also highlights the uphill battle that has been fought by preservationists through the years. It is full of sketches and images of important historic sites and to show differences in architectural styles. The complex topics of restoration; renovation; and conservation are explained in detail. A great introduction to an important topic.
