Historic Preservation

Historic Preservation Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dr. Fitch is a wonder. Not only was he the first to codify historic preservation education for the last couple of generations, he is still the most thoughtful and articulate writer on its essence and purpose. He remains the most astute observer, and the most active mover and shaker in the field. This book brings his genius to life through practical example. What a legacy! -Adele Chatfield-Taylor, President

Book News Annotation:

Originally published by McGraw-Hill in 1982, this thoroughly illustrated and bargain-priced volume provides an overview of the urgent problems connected with the management of the built world, and offers a holistic theoretical apparatus for a wise and civilized system of solving them. With a new preface to this edition.
