Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In any settler and/or postcolonial society, heritage is a complex and contested topic that involves indigenous, imperial and other migrant components. In Australia, this situation is compounded by the unique characteristics of the country's natural environment, the considerable diversity of its migrant intake and the demographic and technological imbalances between its indigenous and settler populations. This volume brings together internationally recognized academics and emerging scholars, whose expertise extends through the areas of tourism, planning, heritage management, environmental studies and state and local government. Through a representative set of case studies from across the country's states and capital cities, the contributors demonstrate the range and diversity of heritage issues currently confronting Australia, and consider possible ways of resolving these.

Download or read book Wilderness written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a winter's day in 1976, a band of young conservationists gathered at the foot of Tasmania's highlands to create a new organisation, the Tasmanian Wilderness Society. The ensuing battle to save the Franklin River from being dammed for hydroelectricity changed Australian constitutional history and established the new organisation's reputation for determination, grass-roots action and defiance. These qualities were taken to campaigns for wild nature right across Australia after the organisation changed its name to `The Wilderness Society' in 1983. The rewards have been new national parks and World Heritage Areas protecting some of Australia's most beautiful, biodiverse and majestic landscapes, including Kakadu, the Daintree rainforest, East Gippsland, the Kimberley, the Great Australian Bight and, of course, the wilderness of western Tasmania.This book is a celebration of those landscapes and the strenuous efforts made to protect them. Photographs by some of Australia's most celebrated wilderness photographers - including the late Peter Dombrovskis - are interspersed with tales of the vision and audacity exemplified by one of the nation's premier organisations. But the book is also a call to action. With the rapid onset of climate change, our natural environment faces the most serious threat in its history. The Wilderness Society hopes that the images and stories in this book will inspire its readers to help tackle this most important of all challenges faced by Australia today.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in The Asia-Pacific by : Kapila D. Silva
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in The Asia-Pacific written by Kapila D. Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific revisits the use, growth, and potential of the cultural landscape methodology in the conservation and management of culture-nature heritage in the Asia-Pacific region. Taking both a retrospective and prospective view of the management of cultural heritage in the region, this volume argues that the plurality and complexity of heritage in the region cannot be comprehensively understood and effectively managed without a broader conceptual framework like the cultural landscape approach. The book also demonstrates that such an approach facilitates the development of a flexible strategy for heritage conservation. Acknowledging the effects of rapid socio-economic development, globalization, and climate change, contributors examine the pressure these issues place on the sustenance of cultural heritage. Including chapters from more than 20 countries across the Asia-Pacific region, the volume reviews the effectiveness of theoretical and practical potentials afforded by the cultural landscape approach and examines how they have been utilized in the Asia-Pacific context for the last three decades. The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Landscape Heritage in the Asia-Pacific provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes of cultural landscape heritage conservation and management. As a result, it will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals who are based in the fields of cultural heritage management, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, and landscape management.

Book Synopsis World Heritage Conservation by : Claire Cave
Download or read book World Heritage Conservation written by Claire Cave and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UNESCO World Heritage Convention has become one of the most successful UN instruments for promoting cultural diplomacy and dialogue on conservation of cultural and natural heritage. This book provides an overview of the convention through an interdisciplinary approach to conservation. It shows that based on the notion of outstanding universal value and international cooperation for the protection of heritage, the convention provides a platform for sustainable development through the conservation and management of heritage of significance to humanity. With increasing globalization of heritage, World Heritage Conservation is reviewed as an emerging interdisciplinary field of study creating new opportunities for inclusive heritage debate both locally and globally, requiring common tools and understanding. With over a thousand properties inscribed on the World Heritage List, from biologically diverse sites such as the Central Amazon Conservation Complex to the urban landscape of the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro, the book will help students, researchers and professionals in the identification, protection, conservation and presentation of World Heritage. Targeted at a diversity of disciplines, the book critically describes the strategies for implementing the convention and the processes of heritage governance for sustainable development.
