The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History
Heritage has burgeoned over the past quarter of a century from a small élite preoccupation into a major popular crusade. Everything from Disneyland to the Holocaust Museum, from the Balkan wars to the Northern Irish Troubles, from Elvis memorabilia to the Elgin Marbles bears the marks of the cult of heritage. In this acclaimed book David Lowenthal explains the rise of this new obsession with the past and examines its power for both good and evil.'Timely and provocative...brilliant and stimulating pyrotechnic...everything from the Pilgrim Fathers to the Inuits, from Homer's Greece to the rainforests of Brazil.' Roy Strong, The Sunday Times'...entertaining and enthralling...' Ben Pimlott, The Guardian
Many Voices, One Vision: The Early Years of the World Heritage Convention
In 1972, UNESCO put in place the World Heritage Convention, a highly successful international treaty that influences heritage activity in virtually every country in the world.

Daddy, Be Mine
Daddy romance meets horror movie—Happy Valentine's Day! After breaking up with my boyfriend not too long ago, getting out of town for work over Valentine's Day didn't sound like a bad idea at all.

Oh, and then there's the madman who wants to kill us all while we're stuck on a freaking island with no way out... This book is part slasher (enough to give you goosebumps) and part romance (enough to make your toes curl)—you've been warned!

Women and Architectural History
In this book, prominent architectural historians, who happen to be women, reflect on their practice and the intervention this has made in the discipline. Of particular concern are the ways in which feminine subjectivities have been embodied in the discourses of architectural history. Each of the chapters examines the author’s own position and the disruptive presence of women as both subject and object in the historiography of a specific field of enquiry. The aim is not to replace male lives with female lives, or to write women into the masculinist narratives of architectural history. Instead, this book aims to broaden the discourses of architectural history to explore how the potentially â...
