You could also try _Preservation of What for Whom? A Critical Look at
Historical Significance_ Michael Tomlan ed. (Ithaca: National Council for
Historic Preservation, 1998). Do note use of the word critical though-- it
isn't essays on preservation for preservation sake.

I always like J.B. Jackson for general landscape awareness essays. Easy to
read and thoughtful. There is a fairly new book _Landscape in Sight_
compiling some of his best essays.
