Product Description

Review

This third edition is certainly no mere reprint. Dr. King has rearranged some of the discussion to make the sequence of information more logical; he has tweaked the language in places so that it is more understandable; and, of course, he has brought up to date all changes in laws and regulations and examined the consequences of these changes. This is still the best book on how historic preservation in the U.S. works, and how Dr. King, one of the most experienced practitioners in the business, thinks it might work better. (Hester Davis )

This informative book deals comprehensively with cultural resource laws and regulations as well as professional practice and guidelines. King shows how these various elements of cultural resource policy conform to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This third edition also incorporates relevant information regarding social impact assessment, Native American cultures, environmental justice, collaborative participation, and cultural resource management plans. Cultural Resource Laws and Practice is essential reading for students interested in heritage resource management and for professionals who work as consultants within the NEPA process. (Larry Canter )

Product Description

Archaeologists, historic preservationists, environmentalists, tribal governments, and even some private property owners are affected by laws regulating the use of cultural resources. In this third edition of Cultural Resource Laws and Practice, Thomas F. King presents clear, practical information for those who need to navigate the labyrinth of cultural resource management (CRM). He discusses the various federal, state, and local laws governing the protection of resources, how they have been interpreted, how they operate in practice, and even how they are sometimes in contradiction with each other. He provides helpful advice on how to ensure regulatory compliance in dealing with archaeological sites, historic buildings, urban districts, sacred sites and objects, shipwrecks, and archives. King also offers careful guidance through the confusing array of federal, state, and tribal offices concerned with cultural resource management.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quick Reference, Mar 24 2011

By Jord Gilbert - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Cultural Resource Laws and Practice (Paperback)

I've used Tom King's Book "Cultural Resource Laws & Practice" book in many of my CRM classes. This book is an excellent source of quick references on laws, procedures and plain language descriptions of how CRM is properly conducted. I love King's witty commentary and opinions on many cultural resource issues-- If you like this book, I highly suggest one of his other works, "Thinking About Cultural Resource Management: Essays From The Edge".

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to the CRM practitioner's bookshelf, April 10 2009

By Tikker - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Cultural Resource Laws and Practice (Paperback)

Tom King's practical, down-to-earth compendium of advice on historic preservation and cultural resources law (as well as management -- not necessarily the same thing) should be a must-have for anyone in the cultural resources management biz or regulatory arena. Keep up the great work, Tom!
