Just what is it that we want from the past? History offers us
true stories about the past; heritage sells or provides us with the
past we appear to desire. The dividing line between history and
heritage is, however, far from clear. This collection of papers
addresses the division between history and heritage by looking at
the ways in which we make use of the past, the way we consume our
yesterdays. Looking at a wide variety of fields, including
architectural history, museums, films, novels and politics, the
authors examine the ways in which the past is invoked in
contemporary culture, and question the politics of drawing upon
'history' in present-day practices. In topics ranging from
Braveheart to Princess Diana, the Piltdown Man to the National
History Curriculum, war memorials to stately homes, "History and
Heritage" explores the presence of the past in our lives, and asks,
how, and to what end, are we using the idea of the past. Who is
consuming the past and why?

Through close examination of the correlation between tropicality
and "otherness" and of science as a means of colonial
appropriation, this volume offers a new interpretation of the
history of colonial India and a critical contribution to the
understanding of environmental history and the tropical world.
David Arnold is professor emeritus of history at University of
Warwick.
"Arnold deftly untangles and analyses the nature of the
connections between literary representations of the land, the
development of botanical knowledge, and the consolidation of
colonial power." "-Times Literary Supplement "
"A rich study of changing British perceptions of India. . . .
Arnold's arguments about how scientific travelers of the early
nineteenth century reimagined India as a place of death and
tropicality are nuanced and powerful." "-Environmental History"
