This book explores cultural sustainability and its relationships to heritage from a wide interdisciplinary perspective. By examining the interactions between people and communities in the places where they live it exemplifies the diverse ways in which a people-centred heritage builds identities and supports individual and collective memories. It encourages a view of heritage as a process that contributes through cultural sustainability to human well-being and socially- and culturally-sensitive policy.

The video, produced by the students at the University of Salford in 2012-13, contains five selected projects that turned two academic journal papers on participatory media and digital publishing.

The international conference ‘Ripening Regulation and Postharvest Fruit Quality’ was organized within the framework of COST Action 924. The aim of this COST Action is the ‘Enhancement and Preservation fo Quality and Health Promoting Components in Fresh Fruits and Vegetables’. The meeting mainly discussed the recent innovations in controlled atmosphere technology and/or the use of chemical ethylene inhibitors as new tools for influencing ripening and quality preservation in climacteric fruit, but also stressed preharvest hormonal influences of fruit development and ripening. Nearly all oral and poster presentations are published after peer review in this volume of Acta Horticulturae.
