Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you organising an international heritage project? Turning a so-called 'heritage revival' into a meaningful experience for the general public can be a challenge to historians, archaeologists, museum conservators and tourism professionals alike. This Companion to European Heritage Revivals offers inspiration and new ideas to those who want to engage a large, international audience in activities which bring the past to life. It offers a critical examination of the field’s basic concepts and discusses a vast array of 'heritage revival tools', including games, historical re-enactments, 3D-visualisations, films, television documentaries, spatial designs and most importantly, international heritage routes. Through many case studies, this book demonstrates how various aspects of heritage can be effectively presented by linking historical places and landscapes in a single revival to create a multifaceted but coherent whole. Above all, it shows the exceptional success achieved by projects which consistently focus on creating meaningful experiences together with individual users.

Book Synopsis Kings Build Empires by : Cecilia B. Dennery
Download or read book Kings Build Empires written by Cecilia B. Dennery and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During Black History Month, even in the church, we discuss our secular history, and can only go as far back as our history of slavery... and there we get stuck. We cannot seem to shake the fact that our ancestors were slaves, even though we elected a Black president. It finally occurred to me what was missing. Our true history was not being told. As people of faith, we really need to go to the Bible, back to the beginning, in search of our ancestry. This guide is a companion study to the book "Kings Build Things" that traces our royal history throughout Scripture, and the legacy they left for us to emulate and pass on. This 13-week Sunday school curriculum / study guide was written as a means to systematically study, and then pass on the knowledge of our amazing royal ancestry. This adult study guide is one of a series of four books based on the book "Kings Build Things: Discover Your Royal Heritage" by Dr. Cecilia B. Dennery: #1 of 4: Kings Build Empires: Key to Building A Future #2 of 4: Kings Build Things That Last: Key to Leaving a Legacy #3 of 4: Building With a Royal Mind-Set: Key to Greatness #4 of 4: Legacy of the Kings: Key to Building Character

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the lead up to and over the course of the Second World War, London was a city transformed as it simultaneously became the front line and the command centre of Allied operations. The scale and speed of the city’s transformation has been unparalleled in London’s history as the government requisitioned buildings and defences were built while bombing wrought devastation across the city, changing it forever. This book will guide the reader, as a virtual tourist – or a real one – around war-time London.Buildings that had a specific war time use or have a link to an important event that occurred during the war are revealed, along with the often secret activities, known only to a select few at the time, of the organisations who occupied them. Buildings used as air raid shelters, iconic buildings damaged by enemy bombing and how London itself changed is all brought to life. Clear maps make this a user-friendly guide for the London explorer and the fascinating background information will enthrall the virtual tourist. Selfridges was still a shopper’s paradise during the war – but what did the emporium hide in the basement?

Download or read book Gibraltar written by Marc Alexander and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Gibraltar is one of siege, starvation, plague, and battles interspersed with periods of peace. The colony's civilian population is made up of a rich and complex racial mix of exiled Jews, French royalists, Maltese merchants, emigrants from India and Genoese fishermen who fled Napoleon. Marc Alexander's book is the first full history of the rock for many years, providing the background to a unique community and a chronicle of a remarkable chapter in British military history. Even now, at the beginning of the new millennium, the future of teh 6.5 square km territory is still uncertain. An important RAF base, it is a fragment of Britain's imperial past set uneasily in the territory of a fellow member of the European Union apparently eager to reclaim it. Gibraltar's dramatic history is far from over.

Download or read book Art, Passion & Power written by Michael Hall and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hall’s consummate history is not just the story of the evolution of one of the world’s great collections... The book is also a through-the-keyhole insight into the shifting tastes, good or bad, of 1,000 years of monarchs." - The Times The Royal Collection is the last great collection formed by the European monarchies to have survived into the twenty-first century. Containing over a million artworks and objects, it covers all aspects of the fine and decorative arts, from paintings by Rembrandt and Michelangelo to grand sculpture, Fabergé eggs and some of the most exquisite furniture ever made. The Royal Collection also offers a revealing insight into the history of the British monarchy from William the Conqueror to Queen Elizabeth II, recording the tastes and obsessions of kings and queens over the past 500 years. With unprecedented access to the royal residences of St James' Palace, Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, Art, Passion & Power traces the history of this national institution from the Middle Ages to the present day, exploring how royalty used the arts to strengthen their position as rulers by divine right and celebrating treasures from the Crown Jewels to the "Abraham" tapestries in Hampton Court Palace. Author Michael Hall examines the monarchy's response to changing attitudes to the arts and sciences during the Enlightenment and celebrates the British monarchy's role in the democratisation of art in the modern world. Packed with glimpses of rarely seen artworks, Art, Passion & Power is a visual treat for all art enthusiasts. Accompanying the BBC television series and a major exhibition at the Royal Academy, Art, Passion & Power is the definitive statement on the British monarchy's treasures of the art world.
