Saving Places that Matter

Thomas F. King is one of the leading consultants in cultural resources management in the United States. He teaches dozens of workshops each year on this topic for SWCA Environmental Consultants and is author of five major books in the field including Cultural Resource Laws and Practice (2004) and Federal Planning and Historic Places (2000). Former staff member of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, he has been in the heritage management business for four decades.

'The book is designed by one of the leading experts in governmental preservation policies to steer citizens in its use to achieve specific preservation goals. Since the NHPA is often ignored by governmental agencies and developers alike, this guide explains the law for laymen and how it can be utilized. King also explains the quirky role of the National Register of Historic Places and the importance of consultation in stopping ""progress."" Much of this action centers on section 106 of the NHPA, and King describes the process any one can use to protect historic properties. It's a handy volume for those of us interested in saving the past.' American Archaeology
