Description

Why does development continue to run rampant despite widespread agreement that our natural and cultural heritage must be protected? In Our Unprotected Heritage, Tom King provides a hard-hitting critique of the systems currently failing our environment. Drawing on decades of experience as a government worker, heritage consultant, and community advocate, King examines the reality of the heritage-industrial complex. This book explores how government inaction and ineffective oversight contribute to the destruction of our most valued sites. King identifies the specific failures within the system, from watchdogs that act as advocates to contradictory regulations and disinterested government employees. It is a deep look at how power-seeking agencies and systemic flaws conspire to allow the loss of our shared history and natural landscapes. Readers will gain a perspective informed by years of direct observation and participation in the field. This work is essential for anyone interested in historic preservation, environmental protection, and the complex relationship between government policy and community advocacy.
