This new edition of the definitive guide to recording America's built environment provides a detailed reference to the re-cording methods and techniques that are fundamental tools for examining any existing structure. Edited by the Deputy Chief of the Historic American Building Survey/Historic American Engineering Record, this revised edition includes in-formation on recent technological advances such as laser scanning, new case studies, and expanded material on the docu-mentation of historic landscapes.

Excerpt from Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record: An Annotated Bibliography In addition to the basic components of a bibliographic entry-author, title, place and date of publication, publisher, number of pages - the citations have been annotated with material about the character of the publication, the number and type of illustrations, the reasons for its preparation, and the names of cooperating organizations which have played such an important role in the success of the habs/haer program. We have also attempted to supply authorship as well as place and date of publication when not indicated in these often informal publications. (supplied information is indicated by brackets.) The character of the issuance, whether a formal, letterpress publication or an informal, mimeographed or offset printing, is noted. An attempt is also made to codify editions and to note informal preliminary editions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
