In the area of conservation, deterioration and materials are covered in relation to archaeological, decorative, and architectural glass works. The text is supplemented by photographs and illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. From Book News, Inc. , December 1, 1989 Compared with many other materials, relatively little has been published in the field of archeological and decorative glass conservation. This is a thorough, authoritative treatment of the subject. Chapters deal with the nature of glass, its historical development, technology, deterioration, technical examination, and conservation.
