"Sacred Sites, Sacred Places" explores the concept of "sacred" and what it means to people in different cultures. The book looks at why people regard some parts of the land as special and why this ascription remains constant in some cultures and changes in others.

The book has a wide geographical coverage and includes contributions from indigenous peoples, archaeologists and heritage professionals.
