Communities and Coastal Heritage at Risk

1UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS, 2THE SCAPE TRUST
Coastal erosion presents one of the greatest natural threats to cultural heritage. Thousands of sites are already being damaged, and many believe that sea level rise and storminess, both linked with a changing climate, will exacerbate the problem. Scotland, with its vast, Atlantic-facing coastline, has long had to deal with the exposure and destruction of heritage sites. In response, a wealth of experience has been developed by heritage managers, who have initiated coastal surveys and practical projects over many years, rescuing information from around the entire coast.
The long history of engagement with the problem of erosion has led to a growing awareness of the crucial role that communities can play in the management of threatened sites. This led to the establishment of two national, award-winning projects; Shorewatch and the Scotland’s Coastal Heritage at Risk Project (SCHARP). Members of communities from around the entire coast have monitored and recorded vulnerable sites and have worked in collaboration with heritage professionals on a range of projects. Groups have nominated sites and worked on project designs, ensuring that their own interests and desires are reflected. Innovative approaches have been adopted and work has been conducted in full collaboration with the communities, thus ensuring greater understanding of both sites and the threat to them. This paper will detail the vital role that communities can play in helping to save information from sites threatened by climate change, giving examples which will hopefully inspire action in other places around the world.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie or VOC) is one of the most influential and best expertly researched companies/corporations in history. As an exemplary historical company-state, the VOC had effectively transformed itself from a corporate entity into a state, an empire, or even a world in its own right. The VOC World (i.e. networks of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Dutch East India Company) has been the subject of a vast amount of literature that includes both fiction and non-fiction works. VOC World studies is an international multidisciplinary field focused on social, cultural, religious, scientific, technological, economic, financial, business, maritime, military, political, legal, diplomatic activities, institutional organization, and administration of the VOC and its colourful world. Some of the notable VOC historians/scholars include Sinnappah Arasaratnam, Leonard Blussé, Peter Borschberg, Charles Ralph Boxer, Jaap Bruijn, Femme Gaastra, Om Prakash, Günter Schilder, and Nigel Worden.
In terms of global business history, the lessons from the VOC's success and failure are critically important. With a permanent capital base, the VOC was the first permanently organized limited-liability joint-stock company at the dawn of modern capitalism. As an early pioneering model of the modern corporation, the VOC was the first corporation to be ever actually listed on a formal stock exchange. In the early 1600s the VOC became the world's first formally listed public company (or publicly listed company) by widely issuing bonds and shares of stock to the general public. In many respects, modern-day publicly listed multinational corporations (including Forbes Global 2000 companies) are all 'descendants' of the 17th-century VOC business model.
For almost 200 years of its existence (1602–1800), the Company played crucial roles in business, financial, socio-politico-economic, military-political, diplomatic, legal, ethnic, and exploratory maritime history of the world. In the early modern period, the VOC was the driving force behind the rise of corporate-led globalization, corporate power, corporate identity, corporate culture, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, corporate finance, corporate capitalism, and finance capitalism. It was the VOC's institutional innovations and business practices that laid the foundations for the rise of giant global corporations to become a highly significant and formidable socio-politico-economic force of the modern world as we know it today ...
