About the Author
Thomas F. King has worked in historic preservation since the mid-1960s as an academic, a contractor, and a government official.
Tom King has played a unique role in CRM as one of the architects
of the original Section 106 regulations and the discipline’s most
articulate explicator and critic. This purportedly final edition
has updated regulatory detail, recent examples, and sharpened
critique. This book is essential reading for those interested in
historic preservation including CRM practitioners and civil
servants. One hopes that the latter might actually heed King’s
well-reasoned rejoinders for the critical need to reform the
regulation and management of our nation’s cultural resources.

Each of King’s books is a must read, and Cultural Resource Laws and
Practice most of all. In it, King transforms the complexities of
heritage management into a veritable page-turner. Like the first
edition, this fourth is a definitive how-to guide. But it’s also a
critique, based on decades of experience. Readers will value
Cultural Resource Laws and Practice as much for King’s insights on
changing the system as for his instructions on working it.
