The Italian architect, historian, and restorer Gustavo Giovannoni (1873-1947) was a key figure in the fields of architecture, urbanism, and conservation during the first half of the twentieth century. A traditionalist largely neglected by the proponents of modernist architecture following World War II, he remains little known internationally. His writings, however, until now unavailable in English, represent a significant step toward the full appreciation of the historic city and are directly relevant today to the protection of urban historic resources worldwide. This abundantly illustrated critical anthology is a representative sample of Giovannoni's seminal texts related to the appreciation, understanding, and planning of historic cities. The thirty readings, which appear with their original illustrations, are grouped into six parts organized around key concepts in Giovannoni's conservation theory-urban building, respect for the setting or context, a thinning out of the urban fabric, conservation and restoration treatments, the grafting of the new upon the old, and reconstruction. Each part is preceded by an introduction, and each individual reading is prefaced by succinct remarks explaining the rationale for its selection and the principal matters covered. Six plate sections further illustrate the readings' main concepts and themes. This long-awaited translation of Gustavo Giovannoni's writings marks a significant milestone in conservation literature. It was through Giovannoni's innovative ideas and hands-on experiments that the pursuit of urban conservation emerged in the early twentieth century; his work became the foundation upon which contemporary architectural restoration theory was laid. This publication introduces his clear and prescient insights to a global audience, enriching the field with his powerful contributions."-Francesco Bandarin, UNESCO World Heritage Director and Assistant Director-General of UNESCO for Culture, 2000-2018Superbly translated andedited, this timely anthology of polymath Gustavo Giovannoni's writings is mostwelcome. Giovannoni's forward-looking reflections and experiences in theformulation and pursuit of a comprehensive ethic rooted in historic city continuity,respect, and care are connected to environmental and socioeconomicsustainability. Multidisciplinary in essence, it embraces issues that expandthe traditionally architecture-dominated understanding of urban conservation. These issues are of direct relevance today to the wise use of inherited urbanresources worldwide. - Dennis Rodwell, architect-planner, cultural heritage andsustainable urban development consultant

Cleans well and no harsh smells!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 96 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this detergent for a few years and have no plans to change detergents! Cleans my baby and toddlers clothes well and has no strong or harsh smells. This is a good choice if you want to pick a more natural and safe detergent.

With a newborn in the house, we needed a laundry detergent that was gentle, effective, and safe for the whole family. Babyganics 3X Baby Laundry Detergent has been our hero in the laundry room. Our baby has sensitive skin, and this detergent has been a game-changer. It's gentle, hypoallergenic, and free from any harsh chemicals. Our baby's skin has remained soft and irritation-free, which is a huge relief for us as parents. But the best part is that it's not just for baby clothes. We use it for the entire family's laundry, and it's been fantastic. The 3X concentration goes a long way, and it effectively removes stains and leaves our clothes smelling fresh and clean. The peace of mind this detergent provides is invaluable. It's safe, and we don't have to worry about any residue or harmful substances in our laundry. In conclusion, Babyganics 3X Baby Laundry Detergent has earned its place as a household essential for us. It's a laundry detergent that truly cares for sensitive skin and keeps our entire family's clothes clean and safe. We highly recommend it to all families, especially those with newborns or anyone with sensitive skin. It's a 5-star laundry solution!

Great product. Poor packaging
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 96 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We heard this was a must have product to use when having a baby. The product seems to work great as we have been using it for a few loads a week now. Giving four stars because the packaging was not the best and two out of the three bottles were leaking at the neck when it arrived. It didn’t seem worth the hassle to return so we kept it. If the packaging could be updated it would be all around solid.
