1. Theory and Practice in the Conservation of Modern and Contemporary Art
Edited by Ursula Schadler-Saub and Angela Weyer
These papers from the symposium, Theory and Practice in the Conservation of Modern and Contemporary Art: Reflections on the Roots and the Perspectives, held at Hildesheim confront the theoretical foundations and the ethical and aesthetical principles of the conservation of modern and contemporary art. The authors tackle the crucial question – whether there should be specific theoretical, ethical and aesthetical guidelines for the conservation and restoration of modern and contemporary art.

2. Italian Renaissance Drawings: Examination and Analysis
Edited by Janet Ambers, Catherine Higgitt and David Saunders
The drawings discussed in this book, published in association with the British Museum, are all included in the exhibition, Fra Angelico to Leonardo: Italian Renaissance Drawings, which is taking place in the Round Reading Room at the British Museum from 22 April to 25 July 2010. This is a collaborative project with the Gabinetto Disegno e Stampe degli Uffizi and the same selection of drawings will be shown in Florence in autumn 2010.
Great emphasis is placed on how the results from examination and analysis can go beyond determining simply the materials used but to draw conclusions about the reason and manner of their use and the patterns of use across fifteenth-century Italy.

3. Early Metal Mining and Metallurgy by Paul Craddock
This paperback edition of this work first published in 1995 is reprinted in its original form, and provides a comprehensive history of the early development of extractive metallurgy, and has become the standard textbook for many students of ancient metallurgy. The author draws on historic documentary sources, laboratory investigation, archaeological discoveries and experimental replication from across the world to provide a comprehensive description of the mining and smelting of metals. The work brings together evidence for the very inception of mining and smelting, showing that early techniques were often different from what was previously believed. Interpretations and insights are given into many aspects from the very earliest metal production right through to the blast furnaces and high temperature distillation units which heralded the Industrial Revolution. There has been a great deal of continuing research in archaeometallurgy since 1995 but fortunately the main statements remain valid and most of the more speculative judgements made at that time have been shown to be correct.
