商品簡介
In 10 essays from an April 2006 conference in Boston, scholars of conservation, architecture, history, and international relations recount how the idea of protecting sites as examples of world heritage was born late in the 19th century. Among their topics are preserving Niagara Falls and the spectacle of Anglo-American accord, between ruin and preservation at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, the preservation of the Washington ancestral home as an "English Mount Vernon" and transatlantic relations, the English experience with heritage and communities in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the Swedish context 1880-1920.
