Just what is it that we want from the past? History offers us
true stories about the past; heritage sells or provides us with the
past we appear to desire. The dividing line between history and
heritage is, however, far from clear. This collection of papers
addresses the division between history and heritage by looking at
the ways in which we make use of the past, the way we consume our
yesterdays. Looking at a wide variety of fields, including
architectural history, museums, films, novels and politics, the
authors examine the ways in which the past is invoked in
contemporary culture, and question the politics of drawing upon
'history' in present-day practices. In topics ranging from
Braveheart to Princess Diana, the Piltdown Man to the National
History Curriculum, war memorials to stately homes, "History and
Heritage" explores the presence of the past in our lives, and asks,
how, and to what end, are we using the idea of the past. Who is
consuming the past and why?

""The German word for experience - Erlebnis - the experience of the
life, to live through something - underpins this book: making
visible scholarly opportunities for richer and deeper
contextualizations and examinations of the lived-world experiences
of people in everyday contexts as they be, do and become." (Ross
Todd, Preface). Information experience is a burgeoning area of
research and still unfolding as an explicit research and practice
theme. This book is therefore very timely as it distils the
reflections of researchers and practitioners from various
disciplines, with interests ranging across information, knowledge,
user experience, design and education. They cast a fresh analytical
eye on information experience, whilst approaching the idea from
diverse perspectives. Information Experience brings together
current thinking about the idea of information experience to help
form discourse around it and establish a conceptual foundation for
taking the idea forward. It therefore "provides a number of
theoretical lenses for examining people's information worlds in
more holistic and dynamic ways." (Todd, Preface)."
