	abstract = {<p>The publication of the present work - rightly designated as the book of Arrabida{\textquoteright}s nomination file for inscription on the World Heritage list - has for all of us a special significance as it represents, in a sense, the culmination of a complex, challenging and rewarding process. As is widely known, the Arr{\'a}bida is included since 2004 in UNESCO{\textquoteright}s Portuguese tentative list, with AMRS being one of this process{\textquoteright} promoters. It wouldn{\textquoteright}t be appropriate to describe here all the details, but it is fair to say that since 2004 to the present day, we{\textquoteright}ve come a long way in recovering and valuing the Arr{\'a}bida. It is with sincere satisfaction that we can say: our knowledge of the Property is now deeper, up to date and much more accurate, doing justice to the exceptional values contained within the Arr{\'a}bida - which is well expressed in the work now published, based on researches and works of the highest scientific value. This is also a regional development project, to value our lands, people and the natural and cultural heritage. The Set{\'u}bal{\textquoteright}s Peninsula is a region that contains within its territory a vast natural and cultural heritage, being the Arr{\'a}bida one of the most beautiful and significant natural areas in the Mediterranean. The Arr{\'a}bida Mountain is a place with its own identity, being the result of a long history of Man{\textquoteright}s adaptation to Nature. It is a place of unmistakable aesthetic beauty, a unique place where nature and culture intertwine; it is a place of contrasts, of land and sea, sky and mountains, a place of combined actions by Man and Nature. Place of vibrant social practices, of rituals and festivals, of knowledge, of representations and expressions, of instruments, objects and artifacts. Place with a history that must be preserved and bequeathed to future generations. Place with monuments of vanished civilizations, but also of living traditions. These are some of the values supporting the Arr{\'a}bida{\textquoteright}s nomination for the World{\textquoteright}s Heritage list. It is a complex and demanding nomination file, which this work is an illustrative sample of. A mixed application - as it includes both the natural and cultural heritage - which, given the richness and uniqueness of the Property in question, is fully justified. It is our profound conviction that this Nomination streamlines the potential of our region, bringing benefits not only to the local population, but also to the whole country. To that extent, it is also a sign of hope and confidence showing that it is possible to build a different future; that by investing in our people, in their abilities, knowledge and traditions, it is possible to create a sustainable development; that is possible to leave for future generations a legacy of which we are proud of having worked on. To be able enjoy this magnificent edition is a step in that direction.</p>
