Philadelphia Trees is a pocket-sized resource for identifying the
native trees, commonly encountered exotics, and popular ornamentals
of the Philadelphia metropolitan area and adjacent counties in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Each of the 118
tree-identification entries features a description of a tree
species or several related species; a list of places to see
specimens; individual photos of leaves, bark, fruits, and seeds;
striking portrait photos; and winter-silhouette drawings. The guide
also contains a section on more than fifty of the best parks,
botanical gardens, and preserves for viewing trees in and around
Philadelphia. Included in this section are ten maps identifying
specific trees in such places as Fairmount Park, one of the
world’s largest urban parks, and the Morris Arboretum, the
official arboretum of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A third
section, “Great Trees of Philadelphia,” highlights fifty
special, historic, and record-breaking trees. Using this field
guide, nature lovers will be able to identify and locate the
fantastic trees that this unique region, sometimes called “the
cradle of American horticulture,” has to offer.
This is the first book to bring together the work of a modern
motion picture film laboratory together with the specialist
techniques for preservation and restoration of archival film.
The books data has its origins in a training programme called FILM
which was written by members of the Gamma Group with funding from
the EU fund Force. The committee comprised senior film archivists
and technicians in charge of film conservation departments or
working film laboratories within national film archives, together
with technicians from commercial laboratories which specialise in
archival film conservation and who do not work for national and
local archives. The final group consisted of many of the most
experienced individuals in their fields.
Restoration of Motion Picture Film is an extremely informative,
well-researched book which is an unmissable addition to the
bookshelves of conservators, archivists and curators worldwide.
Film history and film conservation students will also find it of
great interest and use.
