The best of the world's cultural landscapes--the results of humanity's interaction with the environment over millennia--are a legacy of enormous importance, comparable with great archaeological monuments and works of art. Since 1992 the international community has begun to define, identify, designate and protect these special places, through UNESCO's World Heritage Programme, which now inscribes World Heritage landscapes as well as World Heritage sites. This book provides an accessible introduction to these globally significant landscapes. This is a book which emphasizes the universality of cultural landscapes. They reflect the myriad lifeways of humanity across the globe and through time.
