"Cultural Resource Management in Contemporary Society describes various means of preserving, protecting and presenting vital cultural resources within the context of economic development, competing claims of "ownership" of particular cultural resources, modern uses of structures and space, and other aspects of late twentieth-century life. The international range of contributors from European, African as well as Asian and American contexts offer a convincingly broad perspective, doing justice to the local, national and international significance of the management of cultural resources." "This collection of essays will prove invaluable to both academics and professionals in any field of archaeological, historic and cultural preservation."--Jacket.
