RECOMMENDED READINGS
The ideas behind Civic Conservation are not new ones. The readings and videos that we present on this page represent Tradition at its most progressive. No author on this list pretends to be the genius of our age, nor the sole owner of their ideas. But by putting ideas on paper and relating them to our modern world, these authors are taking part in the very important task of progressing tradition. It is with great gratitude and admiration that we recommend the works of these authors.
