Wonderful!.......2006-04-21

This book was required for my class but I think it's something I'll keep referring to throughout my career. Designed for review for boards, it is short, sweet, and to the point. It gives clinical relevance as well as background info without going into excessive detail. The book is easy to follow and the figures and tables are very helpful. There are even board-style questions in the back of the book. I highly recommend this book.

Book Description

This monograph assembles an international array of leading clinicians and researchers to present the current body of knowledge on the molecular structure of ion channels and their function, using such techniques as voltage clamping and single channel recording, measurements of gating currents, molecular cloning and other genetic manipulations. The monograph provides the information needed to understand the role that the movement of ions has in the function and malfunction of essentially all organ systems. This monograph will impress upon the reader the multiple and interdependent responses of ion channels to physiologic stimuli, pharmacologic agonists and agents of disease and their multiple interdependent roles in diverse physiologic processes, including the regulation of electrolyte and water balance and arterial pressure, in the maintenance of endocrine and metabolic homeostasis, in the control of neuromuscular responses, in the action of anesthetic drugs, in the pathogenesis of the recently described Syndrome X (obesity, hypertension, and diabetes), and in their antibacterial effectiveness. This volume is for all clinicians and researchers interested in the far reaching effects of the various, diverse roles of ion channels, their intricate structure, and their complex functions.

Professional Help for the Private Collector.......2000-01-24

This book was assigned reading in the Museum Studies program I completed several years ago. I found it to be very readable and useful. It is geared to the person who is serious about preserving the treasures he or she has collected or inherited. Among its lessons is the fact that virtually everything we do to maintain our everyday household objects is not appropriate for objects that we would like to see survive for the long term. This book provides valuable guidance on what can be done to preserve the objects we value most. Today, I am a curator of a diverse museum collection, and still find this book helpful and a good refresher.

Excellent for museum professionals without experience.......1998-10-21

I'm purchasing my second copy of Caring for Your Collections. I am the curator of a house museum with a very diverse collection and I have found this to be a handy reference guide with easy to follow instructions for dealing with a wide variety of materials.

So you've had Great-Grandma's old oil painting appraised (you're a devotee of Antiques Roadshow) and, to your amazement, it actually is worth a pretty penny. Now that you know it's valuable, you want to store it properly. But how? According to Caring for Your Family Treasures, paintings are best preserved by keeping them out of direct light in a comfortably heated room (72 degrees with 50 percent humidity is ideal) and by handling them very carefully. By following the preservation guidelines laid out in Caring for Your Family Treasures, you can keep your precious heirlooms safe for generations to come.

"We know we cannot keep everything," says Heritage Preservation President Lawrence L. Reger, "and deciding what to keep is not easy. In the end, the things we choose to hold onto become that more precious to us, and it is important that we care for them properly." Caring for Your Family Treasures includes sections on books, scrapbooks and albums, photographs, home movies (film and video), paintings, fabrics, furniture, silver, jewelry, ceramics, musical instruments, and dolls and stuffed animals. In addition, there are chapters on how to recognize agents of deterioration, how to combat them, and where to go for help (both professional and do-it-yourself).

Caring for Your Family Treasures is thorough, well written, and filled with over 150 color photographs. The authors explain in detail how to recognize organic and inorganic materials and the best way to care for them (our favorite tips: never put a rubber band around a book--it'll eat into the often fragile pages; and never use magnetized photo albums as they discolor and the photos may rip if you try to remove them). This is a book for the serious conservator who is willing to spend time and money safeguarding his or her treasures. Follow their advice and your great-grandchildren will still be enjoying that antique oil painting. --Dana Van Nest

Book Description

Few of us think to preserve our family treasures until it's too late. Now, this practical guide shows just how to safeguard cherished photo albums, a fragile wedding dress, antique furniture, and numerous other precious family heirlooms for future generations.

Clearly written care instructions accompany a lively visual presentation that includes information boxes, checklists, and full-color pictures showing how to preserve leather-bound books, scrapbooks, family documents and other treasures on paper, home movies and videotape, clocks and watches, holiday ornaments, silverware, jewelry, musical instruments, military mementos, dolls, teddy bears, toy soldiers, and more. The text identifies organic and inorganic materials, items that are sensitive to humidity, and the special care required for each. Security and insurance issues, and the best materials and tools for cleaning, display, and storage, and where to find them, round out this immensely useful volume.

HERITAGE PRESERVATION, currently chaired by professional art conservator INGE-LISE ECKMANN, is a national, nonprofit organization working to preserve America's collective heritage for present and future generations. Its programs and publications gather and share information from respected preservation professionals on caring for photographs, historic documents, books, works of art, buildings, natural-science specimens, and family heirlooms.

JANE S. LONG, former coordinator of special projects for the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, is director of the National Task Force on Emergency Response and a consultant for Heritage Preservation.

RICHARD W. LONG has worked with the Brookings Institution, the Commission on the Operation of the Senate, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. He now writes and consults.

Handy Reference.......2007-01-11

This is a small book that gives the readers a basic understanding of how to care for any collection. Broken down into collection type (textiles, photographs, porcelain, toys, glass, etc.), the use of pictures and easy to understand principles has served as a quick reference to let me know what kind of preservation care would be needed for a certain item. Of course, the book is not designed to be the ultimate reference on detailed preservation care, but unless you're an expert and can access the detailed information you need from your own shelves, this serves as something that gives correct information without overwhelming those of us who might care for a personal collection or who have come across an item we are unfamiliar with. Very useful and one of my favorites!!

Review on Caring for your antiques&collectibles.......2002-09-26

The book was full of nice tips and information on general caring/storing of collections. However I found it too general, and in most cases, with topics/items that I am very much interested in, the information is too general that it is not much help for me. There was clearly lack of more indepth information on papermoney and coin as well as Toy collections. As well as not much information on how and where to purchase containers and other means of storage. The book I received also did not have the same cover as showed in the webpage, though title and author was the same.

Packed with practical information.......2001-01-23

Whether collecting for your own satisfaction, or professionally for commercial or public display, begin by a careful reading of Caring For Your Antiques & Collectibles.
