Opis

A look at the choices and tensions that exist in conservation and interpretation of heritage. Preservation and presentation are central activities, arguably means and ends in the conservation of the historic environment. But are they self-reinforcing or do they work against each other? In a series of essays which span from prehistoric sacred sites to World War II military remains, from medieval monastery to 1970s housing estate, this text looks at contemporary concerns and debates about the way the past is shaped, physically and metaphorically, by these two aspects of heritage management.
