Relic Crusade - Past Present and Future

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In a world shaped by the echoes of the past, heritage stands as a powerful force, capable of both uniting and dividing communities. This captivating book delves into the multifaceted nature of heritage, exploring its origins, evolution, and profound impact on our lives.

Through a journey across diverse landscapes and cultures, we encounter individuals and communities who are actively engaged in preserving, reclaiming, and reimagining their heritage. We witness the ways in which heritage is constructed, contested, and consumed, and examine its complex relationship with power, identity, and conflict.

We explore the concept of heritage itself, delving into its origins and evolution. We examine the role of heritage in shaping individual and collective identities, and the ways in which it is used to construct narratives of belonging and difference. We also investigate the complex relationship between heritage and power, and the ways in which dominant groups often seek to impose their own narratives on marginalized communities.

From there, we turn our attention to the ways in which heritage is contested and negotiated. We explore the phenomenon of heritage wars, in which different groups vie for control over the interpretation and ownership of cultural heritage. We also examine the role of heritage in conflicts over land, resources, and political power.

Next, we explore the ways in which heritage is consumed and commodified. We examine the rise of heritage tourism and the challenges it poses to the preservation and authenticity of cultural heritage. We also investigate the role of media and popular culture in shaping public perceptions of heritage, and the ways in which heritage is used to sell products and promote political agendas.

Finally, we look to the future of heritage. We consider the challenges and opportunities posed by globalization, climate change, and new technologies. We also explore the potential of heritage to promote peace, reconciliation, and sustainable development.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the complex and fascinating world of heritage. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field, drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including history, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. With its engaging writing style and insightful analysis, this book will appeal to both scholars and general readers alike.

One Step in a Poppy Field - The...

Bronwyn Royce

Thousands of miles away from where her son was deployed, a powerful premonition is devastatingly confirmed by a knock on the door from two faceless strangers bearing the news that her son had stepped on an improvised explosive device in the poppy fields of Afghanistan. He had lost both of his legs and suffered multiple other injuries, including partial amputation of all the fingers of his left hand. For forty-eight days she stood at his bedside. 
 
 
 
Not only did he survive against all odds, but in time he began to test the limits of his new capabilities and undertook the first of, what would prove to be, many physical challenges. Just eighteen months after injury, and as part of a team of four servicemen, he rowed across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. 
 
 
 
Told mostly from a mother's perspective with contributions from Cayle, the genesis of the book was in the diary she kept while he was in a medically induced coma. It is the story of an extraordinarily brave man who has been through the agonies of rebuilding his life, with the encouragement of family and friends. 
 
 
 
This was never meant to be another book about war or Afghanistan; it is a message of how love and hope can overcome adversity.

Philosophy for Beginners How to...

Jakob Schröter

Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.
