Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage Summary

Climatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage by Robyn Sloggett (Internationally recognised expert in Cultural Materials Conservation.)

1. The book examines the challenges that environmental change, both sudden and long-term, poses to the preservation of cultural material.

2. There is very little direct competition from recent publications on this topic in book format - and anything that has been published on a similar or related topic has been published by Routledge!

3. Considering how local knowledge can have international application, the book should be of interest to those engaged in the study of heritage, conservation, archaeology, archives, anthropology, climate change and the environment. It will be also useful to practitioners around the globe.
