Drawing on a wide range of research  experience and scholarship over the last fifty years  it allows us to re-think past and current ideas in preservation  challenging readers to explore how their own interests lie within the cognitive framework of the activities taking place with people who care. Who is involved is explored first  in such a way as to explore why  before examining what is deemed important. After that the questions of when and how to proceed are given attention. The major topics are introduced in an historical review through the mid-1980s  after which the broad intellectual basis and fundamental legal framework is provided. The economic shifts associated with major demographic changes are explored  in tandem with responses ofthe preservation community. A chapter is dedicated to the financial challenges and sources of revenue available in typical preservation projects  and another chapter focuses on the manner in which seeing  recording  and interpreting information provides the context for an appropriate vision for the future. In this regard  it is made clear that not all green design alternatives are preservation-sensitive. The advocacy battles during the last few decades provide a number of short stories of the ethical battles regarding below-ground and above ground historic resources  and the eighth chapter attempts to explain why religion has been long held at arms length in publicly-supported preservation efforts  when in fact  it holds more potential to regenerate existing sites than any governmental program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665816313909,"sku":"ByrdShop_3319049747","price":98.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783319049748.jpg?v=1782408342","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/historic-preservation-caring-for-our-expanding-legacy-9783319049748","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
