The Past is a Foreign Country – Revisited, David Lowenthal, 2015

The Past is a Foreign Country – Revisited, by David Lowenthal.

From the rear cover: "A quarter-century after the publication of his classic account of man's attitudes to his past, David Lowenthal revisits how we celebrate, expunge, contest and domesticate the past to serve present needs. He shows how nostalgia and heritage now pervade every facet of public and popular culture.'
