Summary:
"Heritage is all around us, not just in monuments and old buildings, but in places that matter, the countryside and in collections and stories. It touches all of us. How do we decide what to preserve? How do we make the case for heritage when there are so many other priorities? Values in Heritage Practice is designed to make the case for heritage. It is the first ever action learning book about heritage. Eighty different activities and games encompass the basics of heritage management. Although designed to 'train the trainers,' the activities in the book are relevant to any group involved in caring for heritage"-- Provided by publisher
