They're going to tear down the most cherished building in your town for another strip mall. How do you stop it? Tom King, renowned expert on the heritage preservation process, explains to preservationists and other community activists the ins and outs of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act-the major federal law designed to protect historic places-and how it can be used to protect special places in your community. King will show you the scope of the law, how it is often misinterpreted or ignored by government agencies and developers, and how to use its provisions to force other to pay attention to your concerns. He explains the quirky role of the National Register and the importance of consultation in getting what you want. King provides you with numerous examples of how communities have used the Section 106 process to stop wanton development, and encourages you to do the same. King's guide will be the bible for any heritage preservation or community activist movement.

Industry Reviews

'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
