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.
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,
National School of Forestry, University of Cumbria; Gerard Corsane
is Senior Lecturer in Heritage, Museum and Galley Studies,

University; Peter Davis is Professor of Museology, International
Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies, Newcastle University.
