It also discusses sharply changed attitudes about the representation of history and memory in the public sphere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe goal is to acknowledge shared experiences through a wider perspective; to contribute to the work of the world-wide heritage community; and to document the history and shifting cultural attitudes towards monument culture across the world, encouraging a more informed approach to monuments and their meanings especially for the public and those outside of academia.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaura A.
