From the preface:
Chapters are contributed by subject matter experts from across the field. The text is concise, intended to impart the fundamentals of the topic, and give the reader the knowledge necessary for informed discussion with other professionals.
As a lay reader with passing interest in the topic, I found the contents accessible and useful. Restoration and preservation efforts for notable historic buildings made more sense when taking a look back. The volumes in this series are not for everyone, but are invaluable to those with a desire to learn more, whether lay or professional.
