saving cultural heritage goes beyond safeguarding our past and protecting what is magnificent, impressive and beautiful.
rescuing cultural heritage is also an integral part of humanitarian aid, given the importance of rebuilding the social and
cultural identityof the community, in which the mosque, the synagogue, the church, monuments or other key buildings
play a central role.

case studies and documented research. at the same time, the accounts argue the importance of rebuilding and reconstructing societies

is it for me?
this book contains potent information about the economic and cultural ramifications of worldwide disasters and the efforts taken
to preserve the artifacts. it argues for the importance of rebuilding the architectural landmarks, which have not just historical
importance, but provide the foundation for society and civilization.
