Recenzii

'Risk Assessment for Objects Conservation is an excellent book that fills an important gap in the conservation literature. The beauty of this book is that while some of the reader's assumptions about conservation in museums will be confronted at no point is the reader made to feel that s/he has been on the wrong track. Rather, this new way of looking at the problem provides a very elegant and informative model with which to put the rules of collections care into context.'
Museum National

This book offers tremendous value to anyone involved in applying for money for conservation.'
