While historical and protected landscapes have been well studied for years; the cultural significance of ordinary landscapes is now increasingly recognised. This groundbreaking book discusses how contemporary cultural landscapes can be; and are; created and recognised.The book challenges common concepts of cultural landscapes as protected or lsquo;specialrsquo; landscapes that include significant buildings or features. Using case studies from around the world it questions the usual measures of judgement related to cultural landscapes and instead focuses on landscapes that are created; planned or simply evolve as a result of changing human cultures; management policy and practice. Each contribution analyses the geographical and human background of the landscape; and policies and management strategies that impact upon it; and defines the meanings of cultural landscape in its particular context. Taken together they establish a new paradigm in the study of landscapes in all forms.

Great book for everyone who loves ALW musicalsBy Lidia RichThis is a good book for a teacher who want to know more about Webbers musicals; so different face to American Musical. A Must Have for an Introduction to Andrew Lloyd Webber;for those who are beginning to experience the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals and his most Influential Classical Composers.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Good academic treatmentBy GooleJohn Snelsons book is a good academic treatment of Lloyd Webbers work; not a biography. Snelson looks at Lloyd Webbers work as a whole; comparing themes; Lloyd Webbers maturation as a composer; other elements of his work and posits Lloyd Webber as a Broadway Master. While it may lean a little too favorable to the composer; particularly with regards to his recycling of previous material; it is a good read and probably the most insightful look at his work that I have read.
