Description

In this updated edition from Cambridge University Press, David Lowenthal explores how we interact with history in the modern age. A quarter-century after his original work, Lowenthal examines the ways people celebrate, contest, and domesticate the past to meet current needs. This book looks at how nostalgia and heritage now influence every part of public and popular culture. The text moves beyond traditional history to show how the past is experienced through nature, the cosmos, and human memory. Readers will find insights into how we use empathy, re-enactment, and commemoration to connect with what came before. This work is an essential study for those interested in how the past is seen, heard, and even tasted in our daily lives.
