History, heritage, and colonialism explores the politics of history-making and interest in preserving the material remnants of the past in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century colonial society, looking at both indigenous pasts and those of European origin. Focusing on New Zealand, but also covering the Australian and Canadian experiences, it explores how different groups and political interests have sought to harness historical narrative in support of competing visions of identity and memory. Considering this within the frames of the local and national as well as of empire, the book offers a valuable critique of the study of colonial identity-making and cultures of colonisation. This book offers important insights for societies negotiating the legacy of a colonial past in a global present, and will be of particular value to all those concerned with museum, heritage, and tourism studies, as well as imperial history.

Have you ever wondered ... How it feels to be bitten by a bullet ant? Which literary masterpiece was eaten by its author's dog? When town planning ceased to be an Olympic event? Where you should put a grockle box? What the fastest sporting projectile is? Whether it would be nice to live on Mars? Why football, beards and lip-synching at weddings have all been banned? Then you need Misc. Misc. is a playful modern take on the classic miscellany, a delightfully random collection of facts discovered by the creators of Delayed Gratification magazine. Inside you'll find a joyful abundance of things you didn't know you needed to know. In an era when it feels like you need to adopt the brace position before reading the morning's headlines, this is a fun and frivolous book in which no one dies (except for Rasputin). Designed to be dipped into and revisited time and time again, Misc. will spark a million spirited pub and dinner table conversations and prompt irrepressible guffaws in toilets across the globe.

OECD, UNESCO, the European Union, and the United Nations acknowledge that formal educational systems alone cannot respond to rapid and constant technological, social, and economic change in society and that they should be reinforced by non-formal educational practices. Examining a New Paradigm of Heritage With Philosophy, Economy, and Education is a critical scholarly publication that provides comprehensive research on the sustainability of identity and cultural heritage. The book establishes uniform and consistent conceptual criteria to identify and distinguish the different typological categories of heritage and discusses the concept of “cultural landscape” and environmental ethics. Moreover, connections between cultural heritage and natural heritage and the economy of heritage are explored. Finally, the book discusses cultural landscape as an educational resource with reading and interpretation of the cultural landscape as a basis for learning with a methodology of experimental science and its first metamorphosis of value. Featuring a range of topics such as curriculum design, ethics, and environmental tourism, this book is ideal for academicians, sociologists, biologists, researchers, policymakers, and students.
