<p>Folklorists need to be 'in the room' as equal partners, whether as professional experts, advocates, or mediators. To attain this, the discipline needs to address the whole issue of cultural heritage as currently understood by a set of wider and influential interests, and develop empirical and theoretical approaches which embrace opportunities within emerging contexts, while maintaining the underlying essentials. Overall, [<i>Culture and Value</i>] is a valuable, possibly necessary, summary of changing attitudes and disciplinary approaches over the past half-century.</p>
