Part of the Crafts Council Conservation Science Teaching Series. "The main aim of this book, the third in the series, is to help you appreciate the underlying physics and chemistry of the processes involved in the joining, coating and consolidation of objects and of the various types of material you might use. It is not intended to be a practical handbook but aims to provide you with the scientific basis you need in order to read other specialist literature more effectively. It will not tell you, for instance, which adhesive to use for a particular repair, but by increasing your awareness and critical faculties it should help you to make a wise decision." (p. 8).
