Gloria Pungetti (editor) - Island Landscapes: An Expression of European Culture

Island Landscapes takes a critical look at the evolution of European islandscapes and seascapes to examine the conditions facing them in the twenty first century. Considering island landscapes as an expression of European culture, this book envisages future trends and presents clearly the need to find a balance between preservation and development to ensure sustainability.

Both large and small islands are illustrated in the book including the British Isles, Malta and Cyprus as well as archipelagos in Norway, Italy and Greece. Their unique identities and values reveal the remarkable breadth of cultural heritage possessed by these diverse European islands. An interdisciplinary approach is applied to the history, perception, characterisation and planning of islandscape and seascape in Europe, to support culturally-oriented strategies for these fragile landscapes.

Gloria Pungetti is Founder Director of the Cambridge Centre for Landscape and People and Chair of the Darwin College Society at the University of Cambridge, UK, as well as Chair of Biocultural Landscape and Seascape at DIPNET, University of Sassari, Italy. She has an extensive record of publications and coordinates international initiatives and European projects including ESLAND, European Culture expressed in Island Landscapes. Her advances in holistic landscape research, biocultural landscape and seascape have received international acclaim.
