Conservation Skills for the 21st Century: Judgement, Method, and Decision-Making

1. This new edition provides a much-needed update to the original Conservation Skills and, like the previous edition, presents an overview of the current issues facing conservators of historic and artistic works. 2. The book assists with the development of judgement in conservation students and young professionals and, as such, will be essential reading for student conservators and conservation professionals working across a wide range of conservation disciplines around the globe. 3. Titles on conservation that have published since the last edition have generally focused on specific approaches or themes, rather than taking a more general approach to conservation. The proposed book is a more holistic and general text, which explores the subject at an introductory level and enables those studying a specific area of conservation to develop an understanding of the wider nature of the discipline.
