This book explores the analytical and practical value of the notion of "rooted cosmopolitanism" for the field of cultural heritage. Many concepts of present-day heritage discourses - such as World Heritage, local heritage practices, or indigenous heritage - tend to elide the complex interplay between the local and the global - entanglements that are investigated as "glocalisation" in Globalisation Studies. However, no human group ever creates more than a part of its heritage by itself. This book explores an exciting new alternative in scholarly (critical) heritage discourse, the notion of rooted cosmopolitanism, a way of making manifestations of globalised phenomena comprehensible and relevant at local levels. It develops a critical perspective on heritage and heritage practices, bringing together a highly varied yet conceptually focused set of stimulating contributions by senior and emerging scholars working on the heritage of localities across the globe. A contextualising introduction is followed by three strongly theoretical and methodological chapters which complement the second part of the book, six concrete, empirical chapters written in "response" to the more theoretical chapters. Two final reflective conclusions bring together these different levels of analysis. This book will appeal primarily to archaeologists, anthropologists, heritage professionals, and museum curators who are ready to be confronted with innovative and exciting new approaches to the complexities of cultural heritage in a globalising world.

Carian Trail (Carian Way) Topographic Maps with 20m Elevation ContoursThis Carian Trail Map Series consists of 7 large format atlases (8.5x11in) that together cover the longest hiking route in Mediterranean Turkey, about 850km in total length. The maps are specifically designed for trekkers, hikers and walkers of all levels, to make it easy to plan and enjoy both short excursions and long multi-day trekking adventures. Special attention has been given to water sources, most of which are not shown on any other maps: springs, wells, cisterns and drinking water fountains. The maps also show locations of all known cities and towns of ancient Caria, Lydia and other civilizations of Asia Minor so that you can put a name to the ruins you see along the way.All neighboring maps (atlases and pages within atlases) overlap each other on the borders to make it easy to navigate when you need to switch to the next atlas or page. Unlike a GPS receiver or a navigation app on your phone, these paper atlases don't require batteries and are totally shatter proof, making them an important insurance against getting lost in unfamiliar terrain. Large format pages make navigation comfortable and reduce the page count (and thus the weight and bulk) to the ultralight backpacking territory.The maps extend well beyond the immediate surroundings of the Carian Trail to provide you with context and options for change of plans or your own exploration.
