Considerations of the effect of trauma on heritage sites. The essays in this volume address the displacement of natural and cultural heritage caused by disasters, whether they be dramatic natural impacts or terrible events unleashed by humankind, including holocaust and genocide. Disasters can be natural or human-made, rapid or slow, great or small, yet the impact is effectively the same; nature, people and cultural heritage are displaced or lost. Yet while heritage and place are at risk from disasters, in time,sites of suffering are sometimes reframed as sites of memory; through this different lens these "difficult" places become heritage sites that attract tourists. Ranging widely chronologically and geographically, the contributors explore the impact of disasters, trauma and suffering on heritage and sense of place, in both theory and practice.

It mattered if others could see you, it mattered if you wanted others to be seen with you, and it mattered if the weather warranted it. That was then, this is now. My present-day naturist existence is not a learned state of being however. More so, it is a reawakening of my inner child. It's a bare bones acceptance of my body despite its gloriously flawed and natural state. No doubt, it may also be middle-aged madness gone amok. Enough said.
