Free Download Conservation of Contemporary Art: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031423569 | 401 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 25 MB
This open access book investigates whether and how theoretical findings and insights in contemporary art conservation can be translated into the daily work practices of conservators or, vice versa, whether and how the problems and dilemmas encountered in conservation practice can inform broader research questions and projects. For several decades now, the conservation of contemporary art has been a dynamic field of research and reflection. Because of contemporary art’s variable constitution, its care and management calls for a fundamental rethinking of the overall research landscape of museums, heritage institutions, private-sector organizations and universities. At first, this research was primarily pursued by conservation professionals working in or with museums and other heritage organizations, but increasingly academic researchers and universities became involved, for instance through collaborative projects. This book is the result of such collaboration. It sets out to bridge the "gap" between theory and practice by investigating conservation practices as a form of reflection and reflection as a form of practice.

Free Download People, Parks, and Power: The Ethics of Conservation-Related Resettlement by Maria Sapignoli , Robert K. Hitchcock
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 128 Pages | ISBN : 3031392663 | 2.5 MB
This book presents a critical review of the ethics of conservation-related resettlement. We examine what has become known as the" parks versus people" debate, also known as the "new conservation debate," which has pitted indigenous and other local people against nation states and social scientists against ecologists and conservationists for the past several decades. Aiming to promote biodiversity conservation and habitat preservation, some biologists, park planners, and conservation organizations have recommended that indigenous and other people should be removed from protected areas.

English | ISBN: 1498535666 | 2016 | 312 pages | EPUB | 10 MB
Many societal challenges defy simple solutions within the grasp of one academic discipline, a single type of organization, or a country acting alone. Such "wicked problems" require collaboration that crosses social, political, or geographic boundaries. Collaboration across boundaries is increasingly seen as a necessary way forward, whether for the cases of education, health care, community policing, or international trade. At the same time, collaboration poses its own challenges, and what is more, so too does crossing boundaries. Regardless of the skill set required to achieve a particular goal, collaboration and crossing boundaries make their own demands.

Free Download Alok Gupta, "Conservation, Sustainability, and Environmental Justice in India "
English | ISBN: 1793614547 | 2020 | 296 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Conservation, Sustainability, and Environmental Justice in India highlights the environmental challenges that India faces, largely due to high population and limited natural resources, and discusses the gap between the intent of environmental policies and the actualization of those policies. Contributors posit that the protection of the environment poses a fundamental challenge to the nation’s desire to industrialize and develop more quickly, arguing that the conservation of biodiversity, protection of wetlands, prevention of environmental pollution, and promotion of ecological balance are all crucial in enabling sustainable development. This book poses the question of how large a role the judiciary system should play in the protection of the environment as a vital body that passes policies to promote conservation and sustainable development.
