Conservation of Earth Structures
by
John Warren
1999,
224 pp.
A companion volume to his Conservation of Brick text, this book
provides a fundamental understanding of the processes of repair and
reconstruction of earth structures. While the conservation of earth
structures is a relatively new field, their importance cannot be understated
when one considers that people have built, lived in, and treasured earth
structures for thousands of years, and these structures have played an
important role in human culture. Therefore, their conservation must neither
be neglected nor overlooked, lest we lose a connection to our common
heritage. Recognizing this, Warren describes methods of evaluating and
testing prior to treatment as well as both organic and inorganic
materials used to consolidate and repair earthen structures from statuary to
earthwork dwellings. Hardcover.
