'... a wide-ranging and timely volume. ... critical topics in cultural property law whose links are often not explored, with a reach that is global, not local. ... the editor guides us through the complex legal and public policy landscape surrounding 'cultural heritage' ... Getting people with diverse viewpoints to speak to the subject in hand is one of the strengths of the book ... a fascinating book - the specialist will find it of considerable value on account of the range of viewpoints presented; the non-specialist will simply want to dip into it to get a feel for the subject.' Script-ed 'This is the first publication to look at the welter of national and international law on cultural objects and heritage, and critically, at the same time, to allow a truly diverse representative group of contributors to comment on and present arguments concerning the legal status, the care and the future custodianship of cultural patrimony. No longer will well meaning commentators from cultural-object-consuming nations dominate the debate, whatever the philosophic basis of their stance.' The Art Newspaper
