A critical first step in the conservation of cultural heritage is to identify and understand the places we want to protect. Inventories and related data-collection activities such as surveys are essential tools in this effort, and heritage-related legislation across the globe now universally mandates their use. However, despite wide understanding of the importance and critical role of inventories and surveys in documenting heritage places, practical, up-to-date guidance on how these instruments should be created, implemented, and maintained has been sorely lacking-until now. This publication provides a step-by-step guide to identifying, recording, and managing information on heritage resources as a basis for their conservation and management. It is drawn from the Getty Conservation Institute's two decades of experience and research in this topical area, including ongoing work related to its open-source Arches Cultural Heritage Data Management Platform and, previously, the creation of the Middle Eastern Geodatabase for Antiquities (MEGA)-Jordan. It is also drawn from SurveyLA, a multiyear undertaking of historic resources that was a joint project of the City of Los Angeles and Getty and is considered the largest American urban historic resource survey assessment to date. This open-access publication provides essential guidance on digital inventories and surveys for the identification, conservation, and management of heritage places“The book seamlessly integrates praxis with relevant theoretical frameworks, principles, and guidelines. It equips readers with a diverse toolkit for the increasing use and implementation of digital methodologies in crafting comprehensive inventories and surveys of heritage sites. These foundational works serve as the basis for formulating effective management and conservation strategies crucial for conserving our cultural heritage assets. Moreover, it offers a systematic approach, precise terminology, and engagement tools tailored for community participation throughout the inventory process. Its methodologies are adaptable and accessible, catering to a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including not-for-profit organizations, governmental bodies, policymakers, educators, and industry professionals engaged in heritage site identification. This universality facilitates producing adequate inventories for the safeguarding of heritage sites on a global scale. I am sure our community will adopt this work, recognizing its inherent potential and opportunities.” — Mario Santana Quintero, honorary president ICOMOS/ISPRS CIPA Heritage Documentation and professor at Carleton University“A perfect travel companion for those about to embark on the long and winding, but oh, so beautiful, road of Inventories and Surveys.” —Leen Meganck, Head of Architectural Research, Flanders Heritage Agency, Belgium “If we are to protect cultural heritage, we need to know what we are trying to protect and where it is. The authors have been grappling with these issues for many years, and they have set out an insightful, comprehensive, and thoughtful contribution to the debate. An essential read for all involved in protecting our heritage.” — Peter G. Stone, UNESCO Chair in Cultural Property Protection and Peace, and President, The Blue Shield

Connecting Social Psychology to the world around us. Social Psychology introduces students to the science of us: our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a changing world. Students learn to think critically about everyday behaviors and gain an appreciation for the world around us, regardless of background or major. Social Psychology’s conversational voice allows students to access and enjoy this exciting science. Students find scientific explorations of love, hate, conformity and independence, prejudice and helping, persuasion and self-determination.

In Psychology in Modules, David Myers and Nathan DeWall break down the content of their chapter-based Psychology into 55 independent modules, assignable in any sequence and brief enough to be read in one sitting. In this remarkably fresh and current new edition, Myers and DeWall have found extraordinarily effective ways to involve students with the remarkable research underlying our understanding of human behaviour. The text itself continues to be shaped by goals David Myers established at the outset. These were to connect students to high-impact research, to focus on developing critical thinking skills, and to present a multicultural perspective on psychology, so students can see themselves in the context of a wider world. This new edition offers 2100 research citations dated 2015–2020. With so many exciting new findings, students will see the importance and value of psychological research, and how psychology can help them make sense of the world around them.

Social psychology has a profound influence on our everyday lives; from our shopping habits to our interactions at a party. It seeks to answer questions that we often think and talk about; questions such as: - What circumstances prompt people to help, or not to help?- What factors influence the ups and downs of our close relationships?- Why do some people behave differently when on their own compared to in a group?- What leads individuals sometimes to hurt, and other times to help one another?- Why are we attracted to certain types of people?- How do some persuade others to do what they want? This new edition of Social Psychology has been revised to introduce a more flexible structure for teaching and studying. It includes up-to-date, international research with an emphasis throughout on its critical evaluation. Applied examples across the chapters help to highlight the relevance, and hence the impact, that the theories and methods of this fascinating subject have upon the social world. Key Features Include: • Research Close-Up: In a brand-new style, this feature matches the layout used in research papers,providing an accessible introduction to journal articles and the methods used by social psychologists.• Focus On: Fully revised, these boxes look at opposing viewpoints, controversial research or alternativeapproaches. This offers a more critical outlook and prompts the questioning of the validity ofpublished research.• Recommended Readings: New to this edition, suggestions for both classic and contemporary literatureare included in each chapter, providing a springboard for further study of the topics.• With chapter contributions from Dr Juliet Wakefield.
