Summary:

To mark the end of a 35-year project to restore the ancient Greek building complex, members of the restoration team shared highlights of the effort with a London audience in October 2010. The eight papers are published here, covering 35 years of restoration of the ancient buildings on the Athenian Acropolis, including the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Propylaea and the Erechtheum, research and technology and surface conservation. Many color photographs illustrate stages of the project. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
