This book explores heritage from a wide range of perspectives and disciplines and in doing so provides a distinctive and deeply relevant survey of the field as it is currently researched, understood and practiced around the world.

The themes'trust','risk'and'uncertainty'seem especially pertinent in the context of the post-9/11 world. This book brings together a range of new research with a focus on the'risk society'debate and on the themes of'trust','uncertainty'and'ambivalence'. Where much of the work within these crucial debates in the social sciences has been theory-based and theory-driven, Trust, Risk and Uncertainty combines theoretical sophistication with empirical analysis and research in the fields of philosophy, education, social policy, government, health and social care, sociology, and media and cultural studies.
