An essential guide to present practice and policy concerning issues in heritage management, "Heritage Interpretation" draws on the accumulated expertise and international reputation for excellence of the UK heritage industry to describe and analyze best practice in heritage interpretation. The contributors, all responsible for developing best practices, come from a range of heritage organizations including English Heritage, The National Trust, Historic Scotland, CADW and National Parks, and drawing on examples throughout the UK, from public art and twentieth-century military remains, to cathedrals and urban heritage, they discuss the range of interpretive options available, and how they can be appropriately tailored to specific places and audiences. Providing practical guidance on interpretive techniques, the book provides insights into the philosophies and thinking that underpins their adoption in particular contexts. This clear and easy guide for students is an invaluable addition to the reading list of any student of history or heritage studies.
