Stone in Scotland
This is one of a series of publications by UNESCO which consider stone resources in different parts of the world. This volume focuses on Scotland, a country which has been referred to as 'a nation of stone' and was once a major exporter of granite, sandstone and flagstone. The rich diversity of Scotland's geology has strongly influenced the diversity of its built heritage and, in a nation with such a long history and distinctive culture, there is an increasing need for a modern understanding and reassessment of its stone resources. This book highlights the links between the natural environment and society at a time when sustainable management of resources must be considered alongside planning for development.
Sustained Care of the Cultural Heritage Against Pollution
Deterioration of the cultural heritage as a result of pollution and other similar factor is a serious problem in a number of Eurpopean countries. This publication contains articles on this issue by experts, researchers and those involved in the policy-making side of cultural management. In particular, it highlights the need for long-term research and the importance of raising public awareness of our cultural heritage and its protection. [From CoE website]
Conservation of Historic Graveyards
Illustrating the relationship between animals and people, and the struggle to survive that many animals face day in day out, this book reveals how many types of animals are in danger of extinction as they are hunted for their skin, teeth and bones and how other species have become threatened because humans have destroyed their habitats. All sections of the animal world are represented, from butterflies, beetles and bugs to snakes and larger mammals - bears, big cats and elephants. The text explains what is currently being done to protect these endangered animals and how research is helping experts to understand what can be done to preserve them and their habitats in the future.
