Beskrivning
Island Landscapes takes a critical look at the evolution of European islandscapes and seascapes to examine the conditions facing them in the twenty first century. Considering island landscapes as an expression of European culture, this book envisages future trends and presents clearly the need to find a balance between preservation and development to ensure sustainability. Both large and small islands are illustrated in the book including the British Isles, Malta and Cyprus as well as archipelagos in Norway, Italy and Greece. Their unique identities and values reveal the remarkable breadth of cultural heritage possessed by these diverse European islands. An interdisciplinary approach is applied to the history, perception, characterisation and planning of islandscape and seascape in Europe, to support culturally-oriented strategies for these fragile landscapes.

Recensioner i media

'Gloria Pungetti’s edited volume is a worthy addition to its canon of literature...More satisfying in many ways are substantial chapters that demonstrate a methodology, which not only deepens their explanation, but would also encourage other scholars to take up the ideas for further study.' Stephen Royle, Queen’s University Belfast, EuropeNow Issue 10"In this book, Ulrik Pram Gad provides an insightful account of the ‘sovereignty games’ that define the relationship between Greenland, Denmark, and the EU in the context of Greenland’s pursuit of sovereign statehood. Greenland’s anticipated oil riches, minerals, and access to transport routes form an important part of this imagined future and are used as an asset in interactions with third parties."Nina Doering, Univerisy of Oxford, UK
