The deliberate ruin of cultural property in Syria and Iraq       by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (also referred to as IS, ISIS, ISIL       or Da’esh) and other belligerents – widely broadcast across       traditional and social media – has horrified heritage professionals and       the general public alike. How the heritage community reacted is now       coming under increasing scrutiny. The low impact of some projects and,       indeed, the total ineffectiveness of others has been highlighted by       various commentators. Now is the time to evaluate our responses,       reflecting on the successes and failures, in the hope of making future       efforts more effective. It is intended that this volume will contribute       to this process. This book reflects the proceedings of two workshops,       held in Marburg and Melbourne in 2017, that dealt with these matters,       and the contributions provide a range of insights into the problems (and       solutions) involved. Rather than lengthy formal papers, they offer       accounts – in many cases first-hand reports or personal reflections – on       the situation as it unfolded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171318186358,"sku":"9789042943179","price":158.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_11973816_4439019.jpg?v=1737420373","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042943179-heritage-in-conflict-proceedings-of-two-meetings-heritage-in-conflict-a-review-of-the-situation-in-syria-and-iraq","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
