Bringing together leading conservation scholars and professionals from around the world, this volume offers a timely look at values-based approaches to heritage management. Over the last fifty years, conservation professionals have confronted increasingly complex political, economic, and cultural dynamics. This volume, with contributions by leading international practitioners and scholars, reviews how values-based methods have come to influence conservation, takes stock of emerging approaches to values in heritage practice and policy, identifies common challenges and related spheres of knowledge, and proposes specific areas in which the development of new approaches and future research may help advance the field.

This book is the translation of Volume 7 of the Kitab at-Tabaqat al-Kabir of Ibn Sa?d which deals with the Companions, Tabi?un and the subsequent generations of the people of knowledge in Basra, Baghdad, Khurasan, Syria and Egypt. This book is of particular interest because its pages demonstrate the attitude and action of the Companions and the Tabi?un when confronted by the most dangerous of trials ? fitna, or civil war. This is extremely important in the modern age, in which fitna is commonplace, for we can learn a great deal from how the early Muslims dealt with it.
En los fundamentos de toda obra grande en la Iglesia se esconde siempre un maestro de espíritu que se ha tomado en serio la acción de Dios en el corazón de los hombres y ha sabido, con sabiduría y firme discreción, educarlos en la docilidad a su querer. Hoy, cuando la Asociación Católica de Propagandistas se dispone a cumplir sus cien años de historia, es muy urgente que haga memoria del manantial de donde corren las aguas que hoy beben sus miembros y recupere aquella primera intuición del Padre Ángel Ayala, S.I., de formar hombres, dóciles a la voluntad de Dios, fieles intérpretes de los signos actuales de nuestro tiempo, para dirigir todas sus energías hacia lo que constituye la única misión de la Iglesia: salvar al hombre mediante todos los medios que Dios ha puesto a nuestro alcance. Sólo así la Asociación podrá agradecer a su fundador el carisma con que enriqueció a la Iglesia. Por este motivo es una alegría que hoy podamos presentar, recuperada, esta biografía que nos permite acercarnos a un padre y maestro en el espíritu que tiene plena vigencia en esta época tan necesitada de magisterio y paternidad espiritual.

Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of ...
