"The introduction to the book establishes its clear contribution to the field. If the success of a paper is measured by the number of underlines and starred notes written in the margins by a reader, this introduction may become the next starting point for future studies in this area of research among geographers... This volume contributes mightily to the literature on memorialization in general, and particularly that toward war. It builds a new layer of intricacy, impact, and thoughtfulness, while maintaining readability and focus. The book is a necessary addition to the library of any scholar looking to understand the memorialized landscape and its impact on visitors and future movements of peace." Chris W. Post (2016): Memory, place and identity: commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict, Social & Cultural Geography, DOI: 10.1080/14649365.2016.1260186"[T]his volume contributes mightily to the literature on memorialization in general, and particularly that toward war.

Post Department of Geography, Kent State University at Stark, North Canton, OH, USA, Social & Cultural Geography"In Memory, Place, and Identity, Drozdzewski, Di Nardi, and Waterton (2016) bring together 14 essays under three themes: “Placing Memory in Public,” “Nar-rative Memorial Practices: Storytelling and Materiality in Placing Memory,” and “Commemorative Vigilance and Rituals of Remembering in Place.” I found the latter the most coherent and satisfactory with the first three papers dealing with Anzac phenomena being especially strong."
