'The Organic Chemistry of Museum Objects' makes available in a
single volume, a survey of the chemical composition, properties and
analysis of the whole range of organic materials incorporated into
objects and artworks found in museum collections. The authors cover
the fundamental chemistry of the bulk materials such as wood,
paper, natural fibres and skin products, as well as that of the
relatively minor components incorporated as paint, media,
varnishes, adhesives and dyes. This expanded second edition, now in
paperback, follows the structure of the first, though it has been
extensively updated. In addition to chapters on basic organic
chemistry, analytical methods, analytical findings and fundamental
aspects of deterioration, the subject matter is grouped as far as
possible by broad chemical class - oils and fats, waxes, bitumens,
carbohydrates, proteins, natural resins, dyestuffs and synthetic
polymers. This is an essential purchase for all practising and
student conservators, restorers, museum scientists, curators and
organic chemists.

The Survival of a Counterculture is a lively, engaging look into
the ways communards, or people who live in communes, maintain,
modify, use, and otherwise live with their convictions while they
attempt to get through the problems of everyday life. Communal
families shape their norms to the circumstances they live with,
just as on a larger scale nations and major institutions also shape
their ideologies to the pressures of circumstance they feel. With a
new introduction by the author that brings his work up to date,
this volume raises important questions regarding sociological
theory.
