John H. Sprinkle Jr. is an historian with the National Park Service and an Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, University of Maryland, College Park.
Professor Sprinkle deftly identifies the ways in which the
identification, evaluation, and stewardship of selected buildings
and landscapes reflect contemporary American cultural values.
Detailed case studies bring the text of "Saving Spaces" to life by
highlighting various conservation strategies and suggesting the
opportunities, challenges, and consequences of each. Balancing
close analyses with a broader introduction to some of the key
issues of the field, "Saving Spaces" is ideal for students and
instructors of historic preservation. Thoroughly 'reader friendly'
in tone, commentary, organization and presentation, "Saving Spaces"
is a critically important and highly recommended addition to both
community and academic library collections.
