What does a sanctuary for Hawaiian crows have in common with a troop of robots programmed to perform the M¿ori haka, or recreations of World Heritage Sites built in Minecraft? They are all attempts to save things from loss, disappearance, or destruction. Every one of us is confronted by questions about what to save, whether we're considering old keepsakes, a family tradition, or a local park. What should we save and why? How and from what? By whom and for whom? This book brings together insights from a wide range of contexts to help readers consider these questions for themselves.
