商品簡介
The first edition was published just before the 2001 convention, and the second takes account of the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage adopted there, as well as subsequent changes in national laws, policy, and practice. Eight of the 16 country reports are entires new, and many of the others have been substantially rewritten. South America, Africa, and much of Asia continue to be under-represented. The Convention applies to objects and areas underwater for at least 100 years, so will not be of immediate help as rising sea levels inundate major coastal cities.
