a This is the first thoroughgoing critical treatment of Sanaa (TM)aa (TM)s modern preservation history, which skilfully makes sense of the overlapping layers of the city's more recent urban amendments. Lamprakos lucidly shows that the citya (TM)s preservation was (and still is) an unresolved process of negotiation between various bodies each with their own interests, concerns, and perspectives on the heritage industry. This subtle investigation, based on first-hand interviews and extensive fieldwork in Yemen, instructs on the past, while also shedding crucial light on preservation directives for the future.a (TM) Nancy Um, Binghamton University, USA a In this richly documented account of conservation in a living city, Michele Lamprakos portrays a vast array of voices and skills; we encounter local builders, architects, planners, bureaucrats, politicians, and various foreign nationals who have influenced Sanaa (TM)aa (TM)s evolution to its present condition. Building a World Heritage City is a stunning and critically important achievement.a (TM) Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University, USA
