"The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction presents a comprehensive view on the destruction of cultural heritage and offers insights into this multifaceted, interdisciplinary phenomenon; the methods scholars have used to study it; and the results these various methods have produced. By juxtaposing theoretical and legal frameworks and conceptual contexts alongside a wide distribution of geographical and temporal case studies, this book throws light upon the risks, and the realizations, of art and heritage destruction. Exploring the variety of forces that drive the destruction of heritage, the volume also contains contributions that consider what forms heritage destruction takes and in which contexts and circumstances it manifests. Contributors, including local scholars, also consider how these drivers and contexts change, and what effect this has on heritage destruction and how we conceptualise it. Overall, the book establishes the importance of the need to study the destruction of art and cultural heritage within a wider framework that encompasses not only theory, but also legal, military, social, and ontological issues. The Routledge Handbook of Heritage Destruction will contribute to the development of a more complete understanding and analysis of heritage destruction The Handbook will be useful to academics, students and professionals with an interest in heritage, conservation and preservation, history and art history, archaeology, anthropology, philosophy and law"-- Provided by publisher.

"Al-Maqrizi's (d. 845/1442) last work, al-Habar an al-basar, was completed a year before his death. This volume, edited by Jaakko Hameen-Anttila, covers the history of pre-Islamic Iran during the Sasanian period and the conquest. Al-Maqrizi's work shows how Arab historians integrated Iran into world history and how they harmonised various currents of historiography (Middle Persian historiography, Islamic sacred history, Greek and Latin historiography). This part harmonises the versions of Miskawayh's Tagarib, al-Tabari's Tarih, and several other sources, producing a fluent narrative of Iran from the early 3rd century until 651. It also includes the complete text of Ahd Ardasir, here translated for the first time into English"-- Provided by publisher

No matter where we live, history lies beneath our feet and in the landscapes around us. In contrast to the history that comes from studying texts, archaeology is the study of history through objects, monuments, and other traces of past lives. Archaeology is history that extends beyond the earliest writings into the deep past, revealing the varied pathways that led to the present, and the challenges - often similar to those we face today - that confronted our ancestors. Celebrated archaeologist Ann Stahl argues that archaeology is unique in its focus on the everyday lives of all peoples in all places and times. Whether studying ancient temples or humble homes, archaeologists piece together unknown worlds that would otherwise be lost. This knowledge matters because it shows us how everyday actions have shaped societies, how and why societies have changed in light of environment, politics and culture - and perhaps what the future holds for our societies too. Using compelling examples from a storied career conducting research in North America and Africa, Ann Stahl provides the perfect summary of why archaeology is both a vitally important and enjoyable subject to study.

"Archive Activism is a memoir of activism rooted in a new way to converse with history by rescuing it. Archive activists discover documents and other important materials often classified, "gone missing," or sealed that somehow escaped the fireplace or shredder. It is an approach to LGBTQ advocacy and policy activism based on citizen archivery and original archival research to effect social change. Research=Activism is the formula growing out of Charles Francis's personal story as a gay Texan born and raised during the 1950s and 1960s in Dallas. The rescues range in time and place from Francis's first encounter with a raucous, near-violent religious demonstration in Fort Worth to attics loaded with forgotten historic treasures of LGBTQ pioneers. Archive Activism tells how Francis helped Governor George W. Bush achieve his dream of becoming president in 2000 by reaching out to gay and lesbian supporters, the first time a Republican candidate for president formally met with gay and lesbian Americans. This inspired Francis to engage with deleted LGBTQ history by forming a historical society with an edge, a new Mattachine Society of Washington, DC. For the first time, Archive Activism reveals how LGBTQ secrets were held for decades at the LBJ Presidential Library in the papers of President Johnson's personal secretary, sealed until her death at age 105. Mattachine's signature discovery is a federal attorney's classified assault blandly filed under "Suitability" at the National Archives: "What it boils down to is that most men look upon homosexuality as something uniquely nasty." Archive Activism is not only a memoir but also an essential roadmap for activists from any group armed only with their library cards"-- Provided by publisher.

• Conclusion

"This open access book addresses the protection of privacy and personality rights in public records, records management, historical sources, and archives; and historical and current access to them in a broad international comparative perspective. Considering the question “can archiving pose a security risk to the protection of sensitive data and human rights?”, it analyses data security and presents several significant cases of the misuse of sensitive personal data, such as census data or medical records. It examines archival inflation and the minimisation and reduction of data in public records and archives, including data anonymisation and pseudonymisation, and the risks of deanonymisation and reidentification of persons. The book looks at post-mortem privacy protection, the relationship of the right to know and the right to be forgotten and introduces a specific model of four categories of the right to be forgotten. In its conclusion, the book presents a set of recommendations for archives and records management"-- Provided by publisher

"The story of the Astors is an extraordinary but true tale of ambition, invention, destruction, and reinvention--and of cunning, determination, hard work, hubris, infighting, and greed. One of the wealthiest men to have ever lived, John Jacob Astor first arrived in New York in 1783 and built a fortune through a ruthless expansion of his beaver trapping business, which he grew into an empire through real estate that enriched him at the expense of Manhattan's poorest residents. In later generations, Astors ruled Gilded Age New York society--Caroline Schermerhorn Astor essentially invented it--and got into the hospitality business with the legendary Waldorf-Astoria hotel, among others. Yet for all their unimaginable success, the Astors also endured crushing tragedy and reversals of fortune. John Jacob Astor IV perished in the Titanic disaster, its most famous victim. His cousin William Waldorf Astor renounced the United States. Rifts would split siblings and pit cousins against one another, legal battles would create irreparable divides, and mansions would be built and razed, or fall into disrepair. By 2009, when Brooke Astor's son, was convicted of defrauding his elderly mother--who had herself married into the family for money--the Astor dynasty was effectively over. In this unconventional, page-turning historical biography, featuring black-and-white and color photographs, Anderson Cooper and Katherine Howe chronicle the lives of the Astors and offer a window onto the making of America itself"--Dust jacket flap.

"Passeur d'histoires, curieux de légendes et de traditions oubliées, de grimoires et de formules magiques, déchiffrant, comparant, interprétant depuis de nombreuses années textes et archives, Claude Lecouteux arpente avec passion son terrain de prédilection, celui des croyances au Moyen Âge. Entrecroisant littérature, histoire, ethnologie, philologie, riche d'un singulier savoir, il ressuscite pour nous la culture populaire, celle du paysan de nos campagnes alors habitées par des êtres redoutables et fabuleux - fées et sorcières, nains et génies, fantômes et revenants... qui hantent non seulement les landes, les forêts et les montagnes, mais aussi notre propre imaginaire. Rassemblant différentes études, cet ouvrage introduit magistralement aux multiples aspects d'une œuvre exigeante. À l'écoute des voix venues d'un lointain passé, le grand médiéviste nous invite à franchir les frontières de l'invisible, et nous permet ainsi de pénétrer le monde merveilleux qu'il n'a jamais cessé d'explorer."--Page 4 of cover.
