Essays dealing with the question of how "sense of place" is
constructed, in a variety of locations and media. The term "sense
of place" is an important multidisciplinary concept, used to
understand the complex processes through which individuals and
groups define themselves and their relationship to their natural
and cultural environments, and which over the last twenty years or
so has been increasingly defined, theorized and used across diverse
disciplines in different ways. Sense of place mediates our
relationship with the world and with each other; it providesa
profoundly important foundation for individual and community
identity. It can be an intimate, deeply personal experience yet
also something which we share with others. It is at once
recognizable but never constant; rather it isembodied in the flux
between familiarity and difference. Research in this area requires
culturally and geographically nuanced analyses, approaches that are
sensitive to difference and specificity, event and locale. The
essayscollected here, drawn from a variety of disciplines
(including but not limited to sociology, history, geography,
outdoor education, museum and heritage studies, health, and English
literature), offer an international perspectiveon the relationship
between people and place, via five interlinked sections (Histories,
Landscapes and Identities; Rural Sense of Place; Urban Sense of
Place; Cultural Landscapes; Conservation, Biodiversity and
Tourism). Ian Convery is Reader in Conservation and Forestry,

Essays investigating the idea of natural heritage and the ways in
which it has changed over time. The concepts of nature, culture and
heritage are deeply entwined; their threads run together in some of
our finest museums, in accounts of exploration and discovery, in
the work of artists, poets and writers, and in areas that
arecherished and protected because of their landscapes and
wildlife. The conservation ethic - placing a value on the natural
environment - lies at the heart of the notion of "natural
heritage", but we need to question how those values originated,
were consolidated and ultimately moulded and changed over time. In
a contemporary context the connections between nature and culture
have sometimes become lost, fragmented, dislocated or
misunderstood; where did "natural heritage" begin and how do we
engage with the idea of "nature" today? The essays collected here
re-evaluate the role of culture in developing the concept of
natural heritage, reflecting on the shifts in its interpretation
over the last 300 years. Contributors: Martin Holdgate, Marie
