Throughout the world, heritage is now a major concern. It is a
method by which to establish identities and attract visitors.
Natural and cultural heritage is protected, conserved, managed and
interpreted, by families, by cities, by nation states and at
international level. This major movement has resulted in the
development of heritage as a field of study, both on its own, and
as a notable part of many other disciplines, such as geography, art
history, archaeology, ecology and tourism management. This textbook
is directed at students approaching heritage as a combined field of
study for the first time. The fields of heritage under review range
from the nature trail to the cathedral, the family album to the
national park. Heritage is seen as a demand led activity, with
interested stakeholders being academics, governments, owners,
school-children, pilgrims and the media as well as the ubiquitous
tourist. The text addresses the practicalities of selecting sites
and objects as heritage and the characteristics particular to those
selected as contrary to those overlooked.
