Conservation Skills provides an overview of the issues facing conservators of historic and artistic works. It not only describes the nature of conservation but also provides an ethical framework to which the conservation of objects can be related. Drawing on case studies of well-known objects such as the body of Lindow Man and the Statue of Liberty it addresses the following issues: * perception; judgement and learning * reasons for preserving the past * the nature and history of conservation * conservation ethics * recording; investigating; cleaning objects * stabilisation and restoration * preventive conservation * decision making and responsibilities.

FASHION TOOTH AND CLAWBy Kindle CustomerSimon Doonan is a little sprite of a man with a creative brain that does not shut off and he has the memory of an elephant. Ive always loved his dishy books (the old fashion editor in me dies hard). This book; not the best; but good; is more revealing about Simon than some of his others; but this little sprite of a man tickles me with his extensive almost encyclopedic knowledge of fashion and merchandizing. He was a display director at Barneys; the cutting edge New York clothing department store and party to a fashion revolution. His books are peopled with characters and bitch fights. . . because he has a very long memory.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Simon!By MMdesignerSimon Doonans personality shines through in this humorous book about his experiences in the fashion industry. I think I might have read this with an English accent in my head. Love that Simon!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I am usually such a fan of Simon Doonan and ...By MSCRI am usually such a fan of Simon Doonan and his writing. However; this particular collection of stories just fell a bit flat. I found that the book as a whole never really got going; and I never encountered the comedic payoff I was looking for.
