Description: "The editors here address the main challenges faced by heritage managers today in light of the changing understanding of heritage in society. The book provides Nordic perspectives on how the management of the past takes place, and how it is carried out in the service of the society, offering new interpretations of the role of heritage in present society, where institutional heritage management has become just one of the many and multiple ways in which different publics engage with cultural heritage"--Provided by publisher.
