Manual of World Heritage Sites

Description

The idea of preserving sites that needed to be saved for the good of all humanity came into existence in 1950s. At that time, UNESCO launched a worldwide campaign that saved the temples by relocating them to higher ground. The seed-notion of creating a list of similarly important planetary treasures was planted during this time and known as world-heritage sites. The world-heritage sites are a cultural and natural landmark which contains outstanding universal values. It consists of ancient ruins or historical structures, buildings, cities, deserts, forests, islands, monuments, mountains, or wilderness. The present book “Manual of World Heritage Sites” gives you the better and detailed understanding of the sites along with its importance for human-kind. It is a beautiful book that shows off longevity and durability, culture and spirit. The main objective of this book is to define the World Heritage in both natural and cultural aspects, to enlist Sites and Monuments from the member countries which are of exceptional interest and universal value and which is required for future generations as well.
