## Resource

This week I'm joined by Jeremy Wells to discuss his book Managing the Magic of Old Places: Crafting Public Policies for People-Centered Historic Preservation . We chat the impact of old places on people's emotions and the current state of the preservation profession. We also discuss the struggle in the field to legitimize the impact of environmental psychology on the built environment, classical architecture and white supremacy, and the differences between cultures in preservation approaches. +++ Get the show ad free on Patreon !
