Reviews

This book provides a commendably broad overview of the cultural heritage discipline that will be of great use to students and practitioners alike. It is readable, authoritative, stimulating, erudite and global in focus. It traverses and enables comparisons across all the main streams of cultural heritage, from built heritage through movable and documentary heritage to intangible heritage, addressing topics as diverse as folklore, indigenous heritage, community engagement, digital heritage and international legal protections.--Adrian Cunningham, former director of Digital Archives, Queensland State Archives, Australia
