Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the global historical preservation and restoration of ancient buildings and monuments, along with the preservation of natural areas of beauty. It begins with the idea of preservation as a concept, then moves into a history of preservation law and practice within various European countries and offers examples of national and local agencies, museums, and legislation attempting to protect these properties. The text also examines the challenges of private ownership of historical buildings and natural landmarks and how various nations approach compulsory purchase of private property for preservation purposes. By discussing international conventions on the protection of monuments, artifacts, and excavation finds, the author explores themes of national identity and the role of cultural heritage, both for nations and individuals. Through examples of preservation successes and failures, this book offers various insights on the subject of preservation, demonstrating how preservation of the past enhances the present and future.
