Here we have a book for those who are interested in the critical appreciation of the problems relating to conservation and preservation of monuments and antiquities including the entire World Heritage. It encompasses in itself a vast vista of visions visualizing the entire gamut of conservation and preservation required for the safeguard of the World Cultural Heritage including minor antiquities housed in museums and varied collections.

On the one hand, the articles published deal with the scientific techniques like aerial photography and Ground magnetics in digital image processing, etc. It also touches the conservation of excavated remains along with preservation objects of fragile material like paper wood, etc. Some of the articles delved deep in analysing the cause and effect of inherent deterioration and decay of varied monuments and pollutions thereof.
