(Little Indiana) This volume will provide interested readers, in Indiana and elsewhere, an introduction to a variety of approaches to and venues for historic preservation. Useful as a resource for local historic preservation socieites or for the interested newcomer, it would also make a fine contribution to a college course in historic preservation or public history. Largely eschewing theory and technical discussions, all of the essays are accessible and most are quite readable, while showing careful consideration of significant issues.
