"John Ashurst's book is well illustrated, and contains several fascinating and diverse case studies. How do you preserve the 2,000-year-old walls of Israel's Masada? Or, closer to home, the 3m-thick walls of Guildford's 900-year-old Norman castle? Gosport's war-damaged rail terminus makes an intriguing study too and, together with several others projects, these in-depth but very readable examinations is a real enhancement of the whole subject.
Space is given to enunciating conservation principles, which are developed by the contributors into safe practices in a range of fields. Examples are cited throughout, and working methods are described and sketched. The many reasons for movement in structures are examined, as is the ecological impact of Old Brock and his many friends, both above and below the water table.
This is a delightfully illustrated book on a subject that is of as much interest to the layman with an interest in preserving our built heritage as it is to the professional and would-be professional conservator. The book is a delight."
