Central to the solution of urban stone decay problems is a knowledge of the processes responsible, how they act and the factors that control them. Unless these processes are correctly diagnosed and fully understood, any remedial action may at best be ineffective or at worst may accelerate stone loss or increase visual damage. This volume offers a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of decay processes. It aims to show the range of current work and the possibilities for alternative approaches to problem solving. |
