"This book explores how tangible and intangible heritage can be understood as the result of a layered complexity of activities that only through a multidisciplinary approach can be productively investigated and enlightened. It also illustrates the latest and most advanced practices applied in the study and in the restoration and conservation of cultural architecture and cultural heritage"--

The history and development of cultural heritage conservation is a choice of the main body in charge or power. Based on the complex conditions of historical and cultural backgrounds, economic development levels, political systems, and development conditions of cultural heritage, different modalities are formed and adopted by different countries or regions. Being originated from the philosophies and activities of cultural heritage hundreds of years ago, the European countries faced these subjects in many ways, and right now have taken positive actions to manage and restrict each behavior about and around the cultural heritage. Among these countries, Italy is a long-time practitioner, a strong enforcer, and a major proponent of some new regulations and acts of conservation, but also the restoration of cultural heritage. Furthermore, it helps China to complete some cooperation activities of the conservation and restoration projects. Being absorbed some valuable experiences from Europe and learned the most useful lessons from Italy, the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage in China have been not too late at all, but have been developed to establish its own way to regulate and promote certain behind behaviors. As the terms from "antiquities" and "cultural relics", then to "cultural prosperity" and "cultural heritage", the fundamental conditions and a comprehensive system of the conservation and restoration in China have been described as well. With the development of the conservation theory, the Teoria del Restauro (Theory of Restoration) of Cesare Brandi gained great attention and has been translated in Chinese two times. While maintaining the aesthetic side of a work of art, this book is the first pioneer to pay attention to the authenticity and integrity of the historical and material level of conservation objects.

As part of an international movement promoted by intergovernmental bodies and academic institutions, Mexico has developed its own methodology for the conservation and restoration of indigenous objects, spaces and territories; unlike in other countries, there is a much closer approximation to anthropological and cultural studies than to site or administrative management. The advances in this area have been notable, but there is still a long way to go. This essay describes a specific methodology that has emerged from within an institutional context that is interested in understanding the cultural, social and political practices of each community, as well as the specific technical aspects of the problem to be addressed. It also explores some pending problems and challenges; especially those that rely on a deeper analysis of the cultural practices related to objects and buildings, and the marginalization and poverty conditions of most of the small towns and villages where many of the conservation and restoration efforts are carried out. It also takes into account the repercussions on the interactions between government institutions and community representatives.
