Classical conservation theories are well known in the heritage community, but in the last two decades thinking has changed and classical theory has come under increasing criticism. Contemporary Conservation Theory, written by Prof. Dr. Salvador Muñoz Viñas, brings together current ideas in conservation theory, presenting for the first time a structured and coherent analysis of the topic.
This attractive text is divided into 3 parts.
The first, Fundamentals of Conservation, addresses the identity of conservation itself and the problems that arise when classical conservation theories are applied.
The second part, Questioning classical theories, delves into the critique of classical ideas such as reversibility.
This leads to the creation of new paradigms such as sustainability, which are discussed in the final part of the book, Conservation Ethics.
This is required reading for all professionals in the field!
