"The publication of the inaugural edition of the
Yearbook of Cultural Property Law was particularly timely, as it coincided with the centennial anniversary of the American Antiquities Act. Despite the existence of a century of legislation protecting cultural resources, heritage management has only recently, in the past few decades, flourished as a recognized academic discipline and legal specialty. Yearbook is the culmination of collaborative research across legal and academic forums; an undertaking that results in an unprecedented reference volume with appeal to an equally interdisciplinary audience… The
Yearbook of Cultural Property Law is an invaluable tool for all who practice cultural stewardship, preservation, consultation, and law. "
- Krysta Ryzewski, Historical Archaeology
"The
Yearbook of Cultural Property Law isn’t the kind of book you are likely to savor late at night while nursing a tumbler of your favorite single malt. It is, however, a reference work that provides a snapshot of important cultural-property milestones and legal developments of the past year, leavened by more theoretical chapters contributed by some of the field’s most experienced practitioners. Anyone looking for a concise summary of how law intersects with the expanding field of heritage protection will want to consult this new series regularly. "
