The first major survey that looks at the conservation of cultural heritage in both Europe and the Americas, this book will serve as a convenient resource for professionals, students, and anyone interested in the field. Following the acclaimed Time Honored, Architectural Conservation in Europe and the Americas presents contemporary practice on a country-by-country and region-by-region basis, facilitating comparative analysis of similarities and differences.? Written to "stand alone" from the predecessor volume, this book will be followed by a third and final volume covering Asia, Africa, Oceana, and the Polar Regions. As Director of Field Projects at the World Monuments Fund, Stubbs is well placed to bring contemporary practice of perservation to life as a dynamic aspect of cultural heritage protection, through his extensive contacts with professionals in over half the countries of the world.
