Opis

Developed in association with the Cultural Heritage Department of the Council of Europe, this book examines key themes and objectives for the protection of the architectural and archaeological heritage in a range of European countries. It includes countries of the west that have already made significant progress in developing systems for the protection of the immovable heritage but also a smaller group to illustrate the situation in countries currently in the process of reforming their legislation and institutions in the field, particularly central and eastern Europe. For each of the country studies in the book the authors broadly cover a number of common themes: definition of the built heritage; identification of the heritage; the preservation and protection of the heritage; conservation philosophy; sanctions and coercive measures; integrated conservation; financial resources; funding mechanisms and the regeneration of historic environments; the role of agencies and specialist organisations; and education and training.

Recenzje

'Pickard provides an essential introduction and a compelling concluding synthesis, while 13 current (1999-2000), well-written, especially prepared individual contributions by experts on heritage conservation issues document these themes ... An essential reference for conservation planners and policy makers.' - CHOICE
