Written by a renowned expert in the field, this book presents an overview of the results of research using accelerated aging tests. The emphasis is on the chemical aspects of photochemical stability, but thermally initiated deterioration is also discussed. Although not a "how-to" book, it does introduce the reasoning, limitations, and principles underlying the concept of accelerated aging. An extensive bibliography provides conservators and conservation scientists with an invaluable source for further research and exploration.
