Destruction of Cultural Heritage in 19th Century France examines the fate of the building stock and prominent ruins of France (especially Roman survivals) in the 19th century, supported by contemporary documentation and archives, largely provided through the publications of scholarly societies. The book describes the enormous extent of the destruction of monuments, providing an antidote to the triumphalism and concomitant amnesia which in modern scholarship routinely present the 19th century as one of concern for the past. It charts the modernising impulse over several centuries, detailing the archaeological discoveries made (and usually destroyed) as walls were pulled down and town interiors re-planned, plus the brutal impact on landscape and antiquities as railways were laid out. Heritage was largely scorned, and identity found in modernity, not the past.
Les cent propostes didàctiques que es presenten en aquest llibre s ́agrupen al voltant de blocs temàtics adreçats a primària i a secundària, susceptibles també de ser emprades en els espais no formals d'ensenyament i aprenentatge. Les activitats són obertes, es poden tancar i perfilar segons les necessitats dels destinataris. S'articulen a partir d'una lògica doble, d'una banda, tracten continguts històrics significatius per tal de donar-los a conèixer i, de l'altra, pretenen potenciar la formació metodològica i procedimental en el camp de l'estudi del passat. Es tracta d'una proposta didàctica que incideix en la cientificitat de la història per tal d'entendre millor els components del passat que ajuden a entendre el nostre present.

Our relationships are unsatisfactory.They are conditioned by cultural, social and historical factors, which lead us to an inner emptiness. Through centuries of patriarchal leadership and feminine dependence we have arrived at the present situation...one of deep unsatisfaction. The neediness of so many women and the present day situation of lack of true encounter between men and women, has led the author to question, to observe and to suggest new solutions to our present challenges. We need to learn to relate to each other without hurting ourselves, to love each other without attaching one to another, to be accomplices respectful of our identities and freedom, to experience unity in diversity. ,
