Book excerpt: “The absence heretofore of a comparably thoroughgoing but accessible resource on a topic of such urgent public concern was a glaring lapse that makes this deeply researched, lucidly written, and helpfully annotated book an invaluable addition to the literature.”— New York Review of Books Time Honored is a comprehensive survey of the practice, theory, and structure of architectural heritage conservation throughout the world. Offering an argument for why architectural conservation is indispensable to modern life, Time Honored describes its parameters and evolution in an historical context, and then methodically presents approaches used in various countries, showing how historic preservation in the West differs from conservation in the rest of the world. Illustrated throughout with over 300 photographs, drawings, maps, and charts. No other book navigates the global conservation programs, policies, and project types so completely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This important book rests on a simple but powerful belief&—that good readers practice the art of paying attention. Building on memoir, research, and many examples of classroom practice, Thomas Newkirk, recuperates six time-honored practices of reading&—performance, memorization, centering, problem-finding, reading like a writer, and elaboration&—to help readers engage in thoughtful, attentive reading. The Art of Slow Reading provides preservice and inservice teachers with concrete practices that for millennia have promoted real depth in reading. It will show how these practices enhance the reading of a variety of texts, from Fantastic Mr. Fox to The Great Gatsby to letters from the IRS. Just as slow reading is essential for real comprehension, it is also clearly crucial to the deep pleasure we take in reading&—for the way we savor texts&—and for the power of reading to change us."--Publisher.

Book excerpt: Half a century has passed since the Vietnam War, and 50 years' worth of novels, films, and music have dramatized and mythologized the controversial conflict. But this book approaches the war in a uniquely personal way, focusing on individual stories of the men and women from every state and service who served in Vietnam. Their day-to-day experiences are heartbreaking, raw, detailed, and sometimes humorous. Over 58,000 troops lost their lives in Vietnam. The survivors came home to bitterly divided countrymen whose hostility toward the war spilled over to the warriors.These personal stories of our Vietnam veterans give us a glimpse of what the war was like on a personal level. Our effort to recognize them is 50 years late. It is well past time to finally welcome these men and women home, to remember their service, and to honor their sacrifices.
