The texts range chronologically from antiquity to the present day. They cover a wide range of subjects, including philosophies of preventive conservation, early traditions of housekeeping, the museum environment, relative humidity and temperature, pollution, biodeterioration, and light. There is also a generous selection of readings discussing future trends"--P. [4] of cover.
