Reviews “Presents the point of view of the conservation and restoration of cultural assets, through the eyes of multiple disciplines: ethnography, art, science, and culture. It is a great work that clearly shows how to address the conservation of artworks in the society in which we live. The book provides the scientific method that professionals of the conservation of cultural heritage may apply to other cases. . . . Easy to read and well written, it has a coherent structure, where an accurate method is proposed, where all the links of the chain of protection of contemporary mural painting are linked, from research and study that includes its evaluation as works of art, up to its study as assets of social interest, combining the strategies and techniques of preventive conservation and museography, deepening in the contributions of science to reach its diffusion. It is a book that unites art and science, theory and practice, linking past and present but looking to the future.” —María Dolores Ruiz de Lacanal Ruiz-Mateos, Professor, Department of Culture and History of Visual Arts, Seville University, Spain Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Virginia Santamarina Campos,PhD Associate Professor, Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Spain Virginia Santamarina Campos, PhD, is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Spain.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
