Produktbeschreibung

As a concept, intangible natural heritage is growing in prominence, as museums are increasingly charged with safeguarding and interpreting the milieux from which their objects originate. Intangible Natural Heritage is a multi-authored work that presents a spectrum of perspectives on our relationship to nature. This book is a significant advance on the subject, presenting a spectrum of cultural perspectives, making the first attempt at a unifying concept on which future work can be based.
