It highlights, in particular, the interrelated challenges of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue and the way in which strong homogenizing forces are matched by persistent diversifying trends. The report proposes a series of ten policy-oriented recommendations, to the attention of States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, international and regional bodies, national institutions and the private sector on how to invest in cultural diversity. Emphasizing the importance of cultural diversity in different areas (languages, education, communication and new media development, and creativity and the marketplace) based on data and examples collected from around the world, the report is also intended for the general public. It proposes a coherent vision of cultural diversity and clarifies how, far from being a threat, it can become beneficial to the action of the international community. Also published in French: Investir dans la diversité culturelle et le dialogue interculturel, and in Spanish: Invertir en la diversidad cultural y el diálog intercultural.

In the midst of the warfare and civil unrest that ravaged this ancient land during the last two decades of the twentieth century, hundreds of precious artefacts were plundered from the collections of the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul. The destruction of these
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization 50 CULTURE irreplaceable treasures - like the much-publicized Bamiyan Buddhas destroyed in 2001 - represents a tremendous loss not only for the people of Afghanistan but for all of humanity. With the aim of keeping alive the memory of the museum’s scattered collections for future generations, Francine Tissot has compiled over a period of several decades a systematic listing of the holdings as they were conserved in the museum’s showcases and reserve collections until 1985. This comprehensive catalogue, illustrated with over 1,600 photographs and drawings, will be of paramount importance in helping Afghanistan rehabilitate its historical memory and retrieve its lost masterpieces.

Inventory of Monuments at Pagan Art, Museums and Monuments series More than 2,000 Buddhist monuments still stand on the archaeological site of Pagan, capital of Myanmar from 1044 until the Mongol invasion in 1287.

The fourteenth-century Hsin-byu-shin monastic complex is represented in full, followed by the great Sula-mani-gu-hpaya temple of 1172 and the Dhamma-yan-gyi temple with its mysteriously blocked inner corridor. The inventory then proceeds to the south to rarely visited monuments such as the Nga-myet-hnahpaya near Kazun-o and Hpaya-ni, ending up around the Pya-tha-da-gyi. • Volume IV: Monuments 819–1136 Pierre Pichard 1994, 416 pp., illus., diagrams, charts, maps, 29 × 23 cm ISBN 978-92-3-103059-8 € 99.10 UNESCO Publishing/Kiskadale/EFEO This volume completes the survey of the southern part of the Pagan archaeological area.
