Description

There are twenty-four World Heritage Sites scattered across the United States. These U.S. World Heritage Sites are the most important natural and cultural areas around the world; these are the places that the United Nations, and the 167 countries it represents, have recognized as the most important contributions to the world’s heritage. World Heritage Sites are premier visitor destinations, yet most people are not familiar with the World Heritage Site designation and many of the places included on the World Heritage List. A Guide to America's World Heritage Sites: The Heritage of Humanity describes these twenty-four sites, including why they are so important, the visitor attractions they feature, and logistical advice on how to visit them.

Author Biography:

Robert Manning is professor emeritus at the University of Vermont, where he taught the history, philosophy, and management of national parks and conducted a long-term program of research for the US National Park Service. He has written a dozen books on managing of national parks and related issues and three guidebooks (with his wife, Martha Manning) on walking and hiking, including the award-winning Walks of a Lifetime in America’s National Parks: Extraordinary Hikes in Exceptional Places (Falcon Guides), which offers descriptions of the natural and cultural history of all the national parks and firsthand descriptions of the very best hikes in each park.
