It touches all of us. How do we decide what to preserve? How do we make the case for heritage when there are so many other priorities? <em>Playing with the Past</em> is the first ever action-learning book about heritage. Over eighty creative activities and games encompass the basics of heritage practice, from management and decisionmaking to community engagement and leadership. Although designed to 'train the trainers', the activities in the book are relevant to anyone involved in caring for heritage.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> <em>"As a facilitator working in the heritage sector, this book felt as though it was written for me. Once published it will quickly become my manual and should quickly become a core text for anyone working with heritage, in whatever capacity, at whatever level. This book is a tour de force, taking the reader on a journey into the theory and practice of valuing heritage; it represents for the facilitator a box of delights or a pic 'n' mix of games for the heritage manager, designator, funder, fundraiser, educator, regulator, policy-maker to use in their everyday work."</em> <strong>- Jo Robertson</strong>, Built Environment Forum Scotland</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Kate Clark</strong> is an industrial archaeologist who has had a career in museums and heritage management in the public, private and voluntary sectors, in Australia and the UK.
