The difficult and sensitive issue of how museums and other
repositories should treat human remains in their possession is here
addressed through a number of important case studies. How to care
for, store, display and interpret human remains, and issues of
their ownership, are contentious questions, ones that need to be
answered with care and due consideration. This book offers a
systematic overview of the responses made by museums and other
repositories in the United Kingdom, providing a baseline for
understanding the scope and nature of human remains collections and
the practices related to their care. The introduction sets
UnitedKingdom practices within an international context, while
subsequent chapters, all written by leading experts, cover a wide
range of topics through key case studies: legislation and ethical
obligations; issues of both long-term andshort-term care; differing
perspectives associated with human remains collections in different
parts of the United Kingdom; a comparison of attitudes and
approaches in large institutions and small museums; the creative
use of redundant churches; and challenges facing research/teaching
laboratories and collections resulting from recent archaeological
excavations. Myra Giesen is Lecturer at the International Centre
for Cultural and Heritage Studies, Newcastle University.

in the tropics. However, some insects are beneficial and have a
role in pollinating flowers and thus enabling fruit set. This book,
written by authors from around the world, reviews these injurious
and beneficial organisms and how they might be controlled to
enhance fruit production and quality.
