The 1980s and early 1990s have witnessed a marked boom in the museum and heritage industry. Public interest in our historic environment is growing and this new awareness has been met by a major increase in the commercialization of the past. "The Representation of the Past" examines this developing trend and reaches some disturbing conclusions. Fundamental to Kevin Walsh's argument is the belief that the process of modernization has gradually served to distance people from their own heritage. Examining the heritage industries of a number of countries including Britain and the USA, the author asserts that museums should shoulder at least some of the blame for a superficial, unquestioning portrayal of the past which ultimately separates people from an understanding of their economic, political and cultural present. In the end, Walsh argues, the role of the museum is to facilitate our comprehension of cultural identity. The key to future representation of the past lies in enabling people to come to terms with their own heritage. This book should be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and professionals in the fields of archaeology, history, communication and museum studies.

The Representation of the Past: Museums and Heritage in the Post-Modern World (Heritage: Care-Preservation-Management)

Examines how the recent boom in the museum and heritage industry has led to its increasing commercialisation, which, Walsh argues, frequently serves only to distance us from our own heritage.

This volume presents a comprehensive review of palaeoenvironmental evidence and its incorporation with landscape archaeology from across the Mediterranean. A fundamental aim of this book is to bridge the intellectual and methodological gaps between those with a background in archaeology and ancient history, and those who work in the palaeoenvironmental sciences. The aim of this volume is twofold: first, to provide archaeologists and landscape historians with a comprehensive overview of recent palaeoenvironmental research across the Mediterranean, and second, to consider ways in which this type of research can be integrated with what might be considered "mainstream" or "cultural" archaeology. This volume takes a thematic approach, assessing the ways in which environmental evidence is employed in different landscape types, from coastal zones via rivers and wetlands to islands and mountainous areas. This volume also presents analyses of how people have interacted with soils and vegetation, and revisits the key questions of human culpability in the creation of so-called degraded landscapes in the Mediterranean. It covers chronological periods from the Early Neolithic to the end of the Roman period.

"For any man who has ever wanted to make his father proud and bond with his brothers, you must read The Perfect Catch. It's perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors, loves to fish, and is not afraid to put love back into the tricky dynamic of male relationships in the family and among friends." 
--Dr. Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian"
"Kevin has done it again. He always finds a way to use sports as a backdrop to bring people together. The Perfect Catch is a warm story that will touch you."--Jim Nantz, Sportscaster
Seventy-three-year-old Bob Walsh didn't bother to ask his three adult sons if they would like to join him on a Thanksgiving week fly fishing trip to western New York before he booked and paid for it. It had been five years since all four men had been together, and they didn't have another five years to wait.
As prized steelhead trout returned to the river to spawn where they were born, the Walshes retraced their roots, reeling in fish and each other; settling old beefs, reconnecting as friends, and bonding as men. And oh yes, one unforgettable fish was caught by the man who made it all happen. The Perfect Catch is written for men by a man. It is a book that wives will want their husbands to read, and a book that any decent man should have in his hands.
