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. Contributors: Kai Erikson,

New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature
through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few
animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf. It occupies a
contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and
heritage. It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild
and an embodiment of evil. Offering a mirror to different human
attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species
that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is
or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have
witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and
its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to
eco-systems. The essays collected here explore aspects of this
recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding
this iconic species. There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including
the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo. We also
meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer
Space. The book explores the challenges of separating fact from
fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with
large carnivores in the twenty-first century. Biologists,
historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists
and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in
this wolf collection.
Investigations into the cultural significance of that most familiar
and charismatic group of animals, bears. Bears are iconic animals,
playing a variety of roles in human culture. They have been
portrayed as gods, monsters, kings, fools, brothers, lovers, and
dancers; they are seen as protectors of the forest; symbols of
masculinity; a comfort for children; and act as symbols for
conservation and environmental issues. They also symbolise
wilderness, reinforcing and maintaining our connection to the
natural world. And stories abound of cultures that gathered berries
in the same fields as bears and fished on the same rivers;
consequently a wealth of myths, legends and folklore has informed
us of our place in the world and the deep connection we have with
bears. The essays collected here provide a rich selection of views
on the human/bear relationships. They explore how bears are an
influence in contemporary art, and how they are represented in the
illustrations in children's literature and in museum exhibitions.
The connection between bears and native peoples, and how
contemporary society lives alongside these animals, provides an
understanding of current attitudes and approaches to bear
management and conservation. The history of captive bears is
brought into contemporary relief by considering the fate of captive
bears held in Asian countries for bile production. Other pieces
look at how bears feature in gay culture, and are an intrinsic
component to researchon the Yeti and Sasquatch. Together, these
articles present an insight into the changing face of attitudes
towards nature, species survival and the significance of
conservation engagement in the twenty-first century. Biologists,
historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists
and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in
this bear cornucopia. OWEN NEVIN is Associate Vice-Chancellor,

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
