Heritage, Images, Memory of European Landscapes

How we can tell apart the shifting, interlocking patterns of the landscapes past or present – this is the challenge of this book taking the reader to the heart of the various societies of this cultural heritage that we call the European landscapes. Across the braod panel selected by the researchers it is the long-trailing memory of European history itself that emerges in the profuse scope of images and representations. By presenting some thirty cases the book displays the plurality of approaches undertaken in the research and analysis that has come to be part and parcel of the protection and safeguarding policies for the environmental and landscape heritage as well as the valorisation practices of this common cultural non-renewable asset.
