Book excerpt: Textual, photographic and satellite image information is provided for each site depicted in the atlas. The details of a site's incription into the World Heritage's list are given, along with a brief description by the cultural or natural values for which the site was inscribed. The threats of the site are then described, followed by a brief explanation what is discernible in the satellite imagery that was selected for each site. The 'stories' told in the satellite imagery provide numerous examples of the utility of satellite imagery analysis for World Heritage site management. In certain cases, the main threats that place a World Heritage site in danger are not identifiable in the satellite imagery. In these cases, we have selected imagery which provides an improvement in the general understanding of that site.
