From the Inside Flap:

"Architecture Transformed: New life for old buildings" will provide a glimpse at the many ways in which buildings have been preserved over the past decade in the United States and abroad. Some 40 buildings are presented with the technical and architectural issues examined, as well as the human story behind each. Obviously this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hundreds of buildings have been renovated during this time period. Our attempt is to offer a wide variety of building types and restoration/preservation strategies that demonstrate how significant preservation is today.
