A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Petra, Angkor, Copan, Venice, Lascaux, Easter Island - all are examples of irreplaceable cultural heritage built in stone and now slowly disappearing. "Stone Conservation" is a tool for conservators and conservation scientists to guide policy, practice, and research in the preservation of stone in monuments, sculpture, and archaeological sites. This second edition reflects the explosion of new research, enlarging the discussion of preventive conservation and adding new sections on rock art and other subjects. It provides a strategic overview of stone conservation research and an updated critique of the field's strengths and weaknesses. The accompanying bibliography summarizes material published between 1995 and 2009 and provides a framework for building a coherent base of useful knowledge for practicing conservators and scientists.

Revue de presse

Dr Doehne and Dr Price have devoted their scientific careers to the study of stone deterioration and its conservation at the applied end of the business: between laboratories and museums, buildings and archaeological sites. Their international literature search and summary review is of paramount importance to practitioners and includes hard messages for the scientists of tomorrow. The Getty Conservation Institute is to be praised for enlightening this important field. --John A. Fidler, Staff Consultant - Preservation Technology, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger
