This book challenges traditional approaches to heritage interpretation and offers an alternative theoretical architecture to the current research and practice. Russell Staiff suggests that the dialogue between visitors and heritage places has been too focused on learning outcomes; and so heritage interpretation has become dominated by psychology and educational theory; and over-reliant on outdated thinking. Using his background as an art historian and experience teaching heritage and tourism courses; Russell Staiff weaves personal observation with theory in an engaging and lively way. He recognizes that the digital revolution has changed forever the way that people interact with their environment and that a new approach is needed.

It covers everything from the very basics (propane. tools. etc). to easy projects (fire torch and pit) and then on to more advanced projects - like how to build large poofers. add electronic controls and more. Deagans writing is clear. approachable and entertaining. He keeps a good focus on both safety and having fun. and his walkthroughs are excellent.This book is suitable for a total beginner as well as those who already have experience. I have taken fire arts classes. and worked on several fire art projects in the past and I still learned a ton from this book. Enjoy!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great book. The thoughts ans projects are laid out ...By BigEGreat book. The thoughts ans projects are laid out in a logical way. Easy to follow directions and diagrams. Well done. I was able to complete several of the projects after reading through their sections several times. This was my first time working with propane and I was a bit worried. Tim really makes safety and priority and builds your skills slowly. At no time did I feel unsafe. I have a great looking propane tiki on my deck now. Thanks Tim.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great book!By CustomerI wanted to make a propane-powered flame thing for an event like Burning Man. Im an experienced maker. and have closely examined other propane flame effects. so I thought I knew what to do. But... it could be dangerous for someone with no experience.This book filled my need perfectly. It goes through some example projects in great detail. It also explains enough of the theory and general principles so its clear *why* things should be done the way they are. Im going to build one or two projects from the book to gain experience. then do my own.The book is clear. very well written. and fun to read. I highly recommend it.
