4.0 out of 5 stars
Historic Preservation Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Richer Heritage: Historic Preservation in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)
I got this book for a college Urban Studies course. I liked the course and the Professor used the book appropriately, she didn't just randomly assign reading from the book. The book is well-organized and I feel that the information I got from the book as a result of the course is useful. I have actually retained much of the material from reading, discussing, and writing about the book for class.

This review is from: A Richer Heritage: Historic Preservation in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)
This was a recommended book for my thesis class. I have not finished it yet, but it seems an appropriate book for those in their Master's program for Historic Preservation.
