New Book: Historic Preservation: An Introduction to Its History, Principles, and Practice

As part of our community building for SCUP's Getty-funded Campus Heritage Preservation Initiative, we recently met with two of the editors of this book, Ilene and Norm Tyler, which is how we learned of it: "A primer that covers the gamut of preservation issues, from underlying philosophy to rehabilitation economics. Historic Preservation provides a thorough overview of the theory, technique, and procedure for preserving our architectural heritage. The perfect introduction for both architecture students and the interested layperson, it covers preservation philosophy, the history of the movement, the role of government, the designation and documentation of historic structures, establishing a historic district, sensitive architectural design and planning, and the economics of building rehabilitation."
