Contemporary Theory of Conservation
Classical theories of conservation are well known in the heritage community, but in the last two decades thinking has shifted, and classical theory has faced increasing criticism. Contemporary Theory of Conservation brings together current ideas in conservation theory, presenting a structured, coherent analysis of the subject for the first time. This engaging and readable text is split into 3 parts. The first, Fundamentals of conservation, addresses the identity of conservation itself, and problems arising when classical conservation theories are applied. The second part, Questioning classical theories, delves deeper into the criticism of classical ideas such as reversibility. This leads on to the creation of new paradigms such as sustainability, which are covered in the final part of the book, Conservation ethics.
Michelangelo's Mountain
Discover the fascinating, crucial, and often dangerous relationship between Michelangelo and the stone quarries of Carrara in this clear-eyed and well-researched exploration that “recounts the artist's large life and lasting works with care and reverence” (Booklist).

It was there, where shadowy Etruscans and Roman slaves once toi...
Sculpture Conservation
The field of sculpture conservation has long been a contentious one. Evaluative judgements are made, balancing assessments of the importance of the original sculpture against the significance of the restorer's work in transforming the image to meet the aesthetic and market-place demands of the time. This collection of 20 essays by an international group of contributors in part debates how these judgements both influence ard are influenced by the requirements of contemporary curators and conservators. There is also discussion of the types of conservation techniques currently available and the role that institutions such as English Heritage have to play in conservation policy. These essays demonstrate that there are few unequivocal answers to the cultural and ethical problems of sculpture conservation. Taken together they make clear the need to establish reliable frameworks within which conservation prodedures can take place which are no longer clouded by personal or professional antagonisms.

النظرية المعاصرة للحفاظ على التراث الثقافي
الحفاظ فكرة معروفة جيدًا، يستخدمها أغلب الناس بشكل صحيح في الظروف والسياقات الصحيحة. إلا أن استخدامها بشكل صحيح سواء في العمل أو في النصوص لا يعني أنها مفهومة بشكل كامل، بنفس منطق أن معرفة كيفية السباحة لا تعني الفهم الكامل لمبادئ أرشميدس. حيث أن الفهم الأعمق لنشاط ما، سواء كان السباحة أو الحفاظ، يحتاج إلى نوع معين من التفكير يختلف عن ذلك المطلوب لممارسة النشاط، خصوصًا فيما يتعلق با...
