Reviews

This is very interesting reading and a truly incredible source of information which moves from the Western European focus of most of the discussions about architectural conservation. It shows an impressive wealth of first-hand investigation and reflective architectural conservation practice. ... I would very much recommend this book for postgraduate students and conservation professionals and encourage the editors and contributors to continue this very important research. (Cristina Gonzalez-Longo, Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites, Vol. 21 (2), 2019)
