2010 sees the launch of a new twice-yearly peer-reviewed journal from Maney Publishing, The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice, an international journal for all those who investigate, conserve and manage the historic environment. http://www.maney.co.uk/journals/hen/

How people have coped with the changing natural environment in the past, and have adapted their societies to these changes, are real issues of concern in today’s environment. This new journal will engage with these broad issues, looking at historic landscapes in a holistic fashion, but will also work down to a finer level of understanding on historic buildings, archaeological sites and artefacts in their setting. The approach takes on board the increasing perception that sites, objects and landscapes cannot be viewed in isolation but need a broader and less rigidly demarcated approach. We have much to learn from the many diverse disciplines within our sector and thus the journal will above all be interested in the practice of historic environment conservation as opposed to a purely theoretical understanding of the subject.
