The management of industrial heritage sites requires rethinking in the context of urban change; and the issue of how to balance protection; preservation/conservation; and development becomes all the more crucial as industrial heritage sites grow in number. This brings into play new challengesmdash;not only through the known conflicts between monument preservation and contemporary architecture; but also with the increasing demand for economic urban development by reusing the built heritage of former industrial sites. This book explores the conservation and change of industrial heritage sites in transformation; presenting and examining ten European and Asian case studies. The interdisciplinary approach of the book connects a diversity of rationales and discourses; including monument protection; World Heritage conventions; urban regeneration; urban planning and design; architecture; and politics. This is the first book to deepen the understanding of industrial heritage site management as a networked; multi-dimensional task involving diverse social agents and societal discourses.

Largely Untold Story of the 84BBy DarwinEvolvedThis book details the work of the Armys combat photographers; Signal Corps- not the Public Affairs fake journalists that are paid spin meisters who handle Command Information.When I served years later in the Cold War era; this job was MOS 84B 84C Still Photographer and Motion Picture Photographer; so I was naturally interested.These men went into the combat zones as both soldiers and documentation photographers and worked the battlefields and Theaters of War and produced some amazing work under some pretty difficult conditions. Imagine trying to document a battle without getting shot yourself. How do you photograph an enemy that is trying not to be seen and will kill you on sight. How do you convey the dynamic and fluid chaos of war in a single still image or short burst of Motion Picture film? How do you keep your equipment clean and operational in extreme weather and under harsh battlefield conditions? How do you serve in the Army and honestly document the activities of the Army without self filtering/censoring?Read it and find out.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I first got interested in these men when I found a forum about the Special Project Films showing the aftermath of the war in Europe. This book is written from the cameramen viewpoint and it gives you a in the moment feeling. Very Powerful1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Thank you for this book. They should not be forgotten.By MMy father; quoted in this book; was not killed in the war; but the war damaged him permanently; as it did so many others. I wish I had known him as he had once been. Thank you; Mr. Maslowski for your thorough research and straightforward writing; which honors the service. Forgive my personalizing my comment; but the book very much serves to unlock war trunks of buried history. These cameramen were one helluva bunch.
