The updated paperback edition of Weaver's landmark work--the essential manual on materials and procedures for restoring buildings

Conserving Buildings, Revised Edition, is the ideal resource for anyone involved in the maintenance, restoration, or rehabilitation of historic buildings. The book combines practical information on the characteristics, composition, and deterioration of building materials with detailed coverage of state-of-the-art conservation methods, fully updated in this edition with current developments in research and practice.

The book contains:
* Systematic treatment of all major building materials--stone, ceramics, masonry, cement-based materials, metal, glass, synthetic resins, and polymers
* Valuable instruction on the restoration and renewal of foundations and footings, slate roofing systems, materials, and other structural details
* Easy-to-follow procedures for conducting structural building surveys
* Over 150 photographs and line drawings, plus case studies from Columbia University's acclaimed Center for Preservation Research
* Newly expanded references, with accessible sources of further information

Whether used as a hands-on sourcebook or a technical desktop reference, Conserving Buildings, Revised Edition, is the manual of choice for architects, engineers, preservation professionals, historic building owners, and students.

Includes index.

CHOICE Review

Books about preservation issues generally fall into four categories: philosophy, stylistic histories, procedural, and technical. The work under review, falling into the last category, attempts a Herculean task. Unlike the typical technical materials books like Masonry: How to Care for Old and Historic Brick and Stone by Mark London (1988), Weaver's book covers multiple materials like wood, stone, ceramics, metalwork, glass, paints and coatings, among others, and building systems like foundations and roofing. Although Weaver is up to the task, he gives only a brief overview of each subject. What makes this book worthwhile is an excellent bibliography/reference/sources section at the end of each chapter and a few case studies from Columbia University's Center for Preservation Research, of which Weaver is the director. The book could also be more consistent in its chapter organization and illustrations using more projects outside Canada to address a wider climatic range. Still, few books attempt this broad a range of subject matter, and the book should be considered an excellent starting point for preservation technical references.
