* Proposes a more contemporary and applied approach and questions
the future preservation of heritage and the maintenance of a
'steady state' while change is happening round about. Examining the
pro and cons of WHS status. * It balances theory and practice by
providing a comprehensive context for World heritage as both a
concept and as sites which are labelled and managed as such. * Wide
appeal to those interested in tourism, heritage studies, museum
studies and destination management. * Includes international case
studies on world heritage sites around the world and highlights the
issues they face, such as overtourism, conservation and climate
change. * Authors a well known academics in this area.

Children's nurses are faced with unique challenges when undertaking
clinical skills, adapting their knowledge and practice for the
physical and developmental age of their patients. The Oxford
Handbook of Clinical Skills for Children's and Young People's
Nursing is a practical guide to both the most basic and the
increasingly complex elements of caring for the health needs of
children and young people. Focusing on the key principles
underpinning all elements of care, it provides a solid,
evidence-based framework which practitioners can use to develop
their clinical knowledge, skills, and attitudes. It systematically
covers the body systems and the clinical skills relating to them,
and includes additional tips and suggested courses of action when
encountering difficulties with a procedure, with practical advice
from current practitioners. Written by experienced children's
nurses working either within clinical paediatric settings or as
educators in the field, this handbook is an essential, quick, and
reliable practice reference tool for any clinical setting.
This publication summarises research investigating approaches to
the conservation and management of earthen architecture. A number
of these different earth-building techniques also make use of
earthen mortars and/or earth plasters or renders. In these
different forms earth has been used as a building material for
domestic, religious, burial, administrative, palatial and domestic
structures for the last ten millennia - the legacy is both
monumental and vernacular. This research explores these approaches
to earthen architecture around the world, and with particular
reference to the study area - Iran, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.
The different approaches to conservation and management are
critiqued in relation to their practical effectiveness,
relationship to conservation theory, values of earthen architecture
and sustainability. This study uses the identification of the
materials and techniques used for the conservation and management
of earthen architecture as a means to understand, articulate and
explore attitudes and approaches to the building material, within
the context of wider conservation and heritage theory. Part 1
examines earthen architecture, its study, use, physical properties
and more abstract values. Part 2 examines conservation approaches
to earthen architecture in archaeological contexts. The CD contains
appendices of supporting data referred to in the main text.
