"Essays investigating the idea of natural heritage and the ways in which it has changed
over time. The concepts of nature, culture and heritage are deeply entwined; their
threads run together in some of our finest museums, in accounts of exploration and
discovery, in the work of artists, poets and writers, and in areas that are cherished
and protected because of their landscapes and wildlife. The conservation ethic - placing
a value on the natural environment - lies at the heart of the notion of "natural heritage",
but we need to question how those values originated, were consolidated and ultimately
moulded and changed over time. In a contemporary context the connections between nature
and culture have sometimes become lost, fragmented, dislocated or misunderstood; where
did "natural heritage" begin and how do we engage with the idea of "nature" today?
The essays collected here re-evaluate the role of culture in developing the concept
of natural heritage, reflecting on the shifts in its interpretation over the last
300 years."
