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.
Organic Mass Spectrometry in Art and Archaeology
Offers an overview of the analysis of art and archaeological materials using techniques based on mass spectrometry Illustrates basic principles, procedures and applications of mass spectrometric techniques. Fills a gap in the field of application on destructive methods in the analysis of museum objects Edited by a world-wide respected specialists with extensive experience of the GC/MS analysis of art objects Such a handbook has been long-awaited by scientists, restorers and other experts in the analysis of art objects
Archaeological Wood
Combining chemistry with techniques of preserving archaeological wood, these 17 essays are based on current understanding of the structure of wood and the mechanisms of its degradation. Topics include the chemical composition of wood and changes brought about by the decay process, biopredators, curing and preservation techniques, museum environments, and the ethics of conservation. For conservators and wood-oriented scientists. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Encyclopedia of Chromatography 2004 Update Supplement
In step with novel technologies and methodologies that have reshaped chromatography in recent years, this supplement reviews developments in HPLC, TLC, SFC, CCC, and other areas-presenting 50 authoritative entries filled with practical information vital to applications from biotechnology to environmental science to clinical pathology.
Biological Degradation of Wastes
The cumulative effects of pollution have led, in recent years, to increased public concern, which is resulting in stricter legislation on the discharge of wastes in whatever state they are present: gaseous, liquid or solid. The treatment and disposal of wastes has become one of the most important problems facing mankind. This is a problem which will not disappear, and could even worsen, if it is not faced with resolution by all the main parties involved: consumers, governments, producers and scientists. Some wastes could be reused, producing some economic return which could pay for the waste-treatment process. In the best of cases, this could become an economically attractive recycling opera...
Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites
The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and energy/resource conservation. The Handbook of Wood Chemistry and Wood Composites provides an excellent guide to the latest concepts and technologies in wood chemistry and bio-based composites. The book analyzes the chemical composition and physical properties of wood cellulose and its response to natural processes of degradation. It describes safe and effective chemical modifications to strengthen wood against biological, chemical, and mechanical degradation without using toxic, leachable, or corrosive chemicals. Expert resea...
