This book outlines a complete programme for the restoration and
preservation of historic structures and historic sites throughout
the world. It is a basic text for both the novice entering the
field and the specialist. Dr Fitch covers the many disciplines,
concepts and technologies needed by the preservationist. He also
includes discussions of the economic, legal and legislative forces
acting upon historic district planning. He provides useful
information on how old buildings can be moved (either intact or
disassembled) to new sites via truck, rail or barge; how to heat,
cool and light old buildings and still maintain the aesthetic
integrity of their interiors; and how a country can develop a
comprehensive policy for the care of its artistic and historic
heritage.
