The book is the fruit of a conference that took place in Krakow in May 2006 in connection with the ffteenth anniversary of the creation of the International Cultural Centre. The conference brought together experts from many countries and continents. The anniversary of the Centre’s launch was an excellent opportunity for a thorough review of the most important issues and challenges facing culture and heritage at the threshold of a new millennium. The publication is therefore an up-to-the-minute compendium of contemporary heritage conservation theory and practice in Europe and across the world. It is aimed at both specialists engaged in the increasingly complicated issues of heritage site protection and conservation, and lay people, including students, interested in the issues connected with cultural heritage.
