        World Heritage Sites

        Tourism, Local Communities and Conservation Activities

        by Takamitsu Jimura

        Heritage is a growing area of both tourism and study, with World Heritage Site designations increasing year-on-year. This book reviews the important interrelations between the industry, local communities and conservation work, bringing together the various opportunities and challenges for different destinations. World Heritage status is a strong marketing brand, and proper heritage management and effective conservation are vital, but this tourism must also be developed and managed appropriately if it is to benefit a site. As many sites are located in residential areas, their interaction with the local community must also be carefully considered. This book: - Reviews new areas of development such as Historic Urban Landscapes, Intangible Cultural Heritage, Memory of the World and Global Geoparks. - Includes global case studies to relate theory to practice. - Covers a worldwide industry of over 1,000 cultural and natural heritage sites. An important read for academics, researchers and students of heritage studies, cultural studies and tourism, this book is also a useful resource for professionals working in conservation, cultural and natural heritage management.

        by Joshua Chiang

        Book 3: Prisoners of the Fox   On the run from the law, the ronin rat, Whiskers and the kitten burglar Maneki encounter the dying pigeon monk Hatto who, with his dying breath, entrusts to them the key and a map to the lost treasures of the First Emperor. Whiskers, who is given the key, reluctantly agrees to partner Maneki in the hunt for the treasure when the latter memorizes the map and swallows it.   They did not get far when they are ambushed and captured by bandits who take them to their leader, the mysterious “Boss san” … who is none other than Whisker’s wife whom he had abandoned.   But their woes are not over. The ruthless blind bat Koumori had been tasked by his master, Amami Inaba to locate the items which are now in the rat and the cat’s possession. And anyone who stands in the way or knows about the items must die.   Presenting the third chapter in the debut comic book mini-series by writer/illustrator Joshua Chiang, Ronin Rat and Ninja Cat is a love letter to classic Chanbara (samurai sword-fighting) movies set in a land of talking animals, giant insects, a bit of magic here and there, and one really big, really destructive Daikaiju!

        This book received the 2020 Akutagawa Prize, one of the most prestigious awards given to new writers of Japanese literature.   An exceptionally old museum full of Okinawa’s historical archives – no visitors, hardly an existence. But this is Minako’s favorite place. She’s skipped school to sit alone and read through all the artifacts in this museum since she as little. After many years, Minako now voluntarily helps out by storing the artifacts at the museum digitally. Her paid job is an online operator that gives quiz questions to and has subtle conversations on various fields of knowledge with people in unknown, faraway places. Minako had never enjoyed the company of other people in her life, but somehow she enjoys connecting with these people and sharing knowledge. One morning after a stormy night, a Miyako horse (a protected species of horse in Okinawa) appears wandering in her backyard. This touching story illustrates the meaning of preserving information and history –the past and the present –and sends the world an important message through a quiet life of solitude and strength.
