'Principles of Conservation' is a multi-perspective critical analysis of the ethics that guide the conservation profession.

Recenzje

"A recommendable book for all those who have interest in contemporary conservation thinking and a must suggestion for a gift box, competent library, students' complementary reading material or just for the vocational conservator."

Christabel Blackman, E- Conservation magazine

"A timely contribution to a complex and evolving debate."

Mary M Brooks, ICON News

"Having read the book I began to see how museum conservators could benefit from the contributions and perspectives provided by those in related disciplines. In this respect the collection of papers reads like a journey, commencing with Ruskin and Morris, and concluding with a paper on Andy Goldsworthy and Installation Art, but travelling by way of the archaeology of conservation, cultural significance, and issues surrounding the presentation of indigenous artefacts. In short, the book achieved its aims. There is much that provokes thought and argument spread across its twenty-one chapters."

Keith Emerick, Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites
