"The History of Geoconservation" ed. by C. V. Burek, C. D. Prosser (Repost)

This book provides the collection of papers to address the history of geoconservation. The papers demonstrate that the origin and development of this subject is interesting and informative in itself but more importantly, through revealing the history of geoconservation successes and failures, they provide us with an increased understanding of how we got to where we are now; invaluable knowledge in helping geoconservation meet the challenges that lie in the future.

This book is the first to describe the history of geoconservation. It draws on experience from the UK, Europe and further afield.
It seeks to explore the origins of the subject and the concepts that helped to define it; it describes the history of geoconservation in the UK, looks more widely to the Republic of Ireland, mainland Europe and Australia and explores the evolution and impact of global conservation initiatives including World Heritage sites and Geoparks. In doing this, it highlights the invaluable contributions to geoconservation made by academics, geological societies, governments, conservationists, volunteers and local communities.
