The Conservation of Glass and Ceramics 293 pages, 8 1/4" x 10 1/2"

The Conservation of Glass and Ceramics This book is the first to bring together in one volume a comprehensive range of key topics in glass and ceramics conservation. Scientific research in deterioration mechanisms and in the methods and materials of conservation processes are dealt with extensively by twenty authors, each internationally respected in their subject. The training available for glass and ceramics conservation is covered in contributions by five course directors at colleges in the USA and Europe.
The book is conservators, curators, conservation scientists, and ceramics and glass technologists.

Paul Perrot, formerly Director of The Corning Museum of Glass, writes in his introduction to the book, "Ceramics and, later, glass are among the most fundamental substances in humanity's technological and social development. They, and especially ceramics, testify to a sense of continuity in the needs of the human condition and of its higher aims and achievements. As such the conservation of ceramics and glass deserves the thorough probing reflected in these pages."

Published with the support of ICN, The Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage, established in 1997, the ICN's principal activities are consultancy, research, information and training.

The book is edited by Norman H. Tennent, Senior Scientific Advisor, The Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage. He is a conservation scientist with twenty-five years research experience in the deterioration and conservation of works of art, especially glass and ceramics. He is a former editor of Studies in Conservation.
