Heritage is a growing area of both tourism and study, with World Heritage Site designations increasing year-on-year. This book reviews the important interrelations between the industry, local communities and conservation work, bringing together the various opportunities and challenges for different destinations. World Heritage status is a strong marketing brand, and proper heritage management and effective conservation are vital, but this tourism must also be developed and managed appropriately if it is to benefit a site. As many sites are located in residential areas, their interaction with the local community must also be carefully considered. This book: - Reviews new areas of development such as Historic Urban Landscapes, Intangible Cultural Heritage, Memory of the World and Global Geoparks. - Includes global case studies to relate theory to practice. - Covers a worldwide industry of over 1,000 cultural and natural heritage sites. An important read for academics, researchers and students of heritage studies, cultural studies and tourism, this book is also a useful resource for professionals working in conservation, cultural and natural heritage management.

My Playful egos is the second work of a bio-ethical-based collection written by Seyed Ali Shojaei, which is published by Neyestan Book Publishing. This story starts with an eccentric event. At midnight, a large tree is uprooted by a storm that closes the city's largest street. In the meantime, everyone thinks of a solution; from taking a picture to picking a branch. The author goes on to explain that if we cooperate, then we can solve big problems like removing a huge broken tree from the street. The book tries to lead and propel its readers to teamwork and emphasizes desisting from personal interests to gain social benefits. In this way, we can strengthen group activity in our personal and social life. Yeganeh Yaghubnezhad, the illustrator, has created a new design for this book. Every character has taken a unique path to narrate the story. So, realism and surrealism images are combined to create an imaginative atmosphere for children.

Owning a lot of facilities, teenagers in this story can not be happy! In other words, although they have many things to enjoy their time; however, they are not capable of using them beneficially. So, the shortage of facilities is not their problem, their viewpoint is the main reason for their inability to enjoy their life. This story guides teenagers to use their thinking and speech abilities to communicate and live a happy productive life. Narges Tahmasebi, the illustrator, also uses innovative styles and techniques to create images that pertain to the text. Her illustrations evoke creative thinking and her realistic approach creates intact and novel circumstances in this book.

The gardener of others’ soil is the first volume of a bio-ethical-based collection written by Seyed Ali Shojaei. Shojaei has previously published two literary and philosophical collections, namely “Children’s Philosophy” and “Children’s Life Skills” which have been translated into eight languages and have received various national and foreign literary awards. This book revolves around the patience concept and represents the fact that haste will waste everything. In other words, if you rush, you lose your desires and you can not be pleased by its ramification. In this book, children plant wheat and wait for its growth. Then, they try to provide the necessities such as sunlight and rain, etc. But, they can not wait so long to see the result. However, the seeds teach them to be patient. Moreover, waiting for the results earlier than usual resembles planting a seed in someone else’s field. In addition, Narges Ziani, the illustrator, depicts an imaginary world by juxtaposing realism and surrealism techniques as if the illustrations had been created beforehand in a way that helps the audience to understand the text better.
