Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graverobbing was a dark but profitable industry in pre-Victorian Scotland – criminals, gravediggers and middle-class medical students alike abstracted newly-buried corpses to send to the anatomy schools. Only after the trials of the infamous murderers Burke and Hare and the passing of the Anatomy Act of 1832 did the grisly trade end. From burial grounds in the heart of Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh to quiet country graveyards in the Scottish Borders and Aberdeenshire, this book takes you to every cemetery ever raided, and reveals where you can find extant pieces of anti-resurrectionist graveyard furniture, from mortsafes, coffin cages and underground vaults to watchtowers and morthouses. Richly illustrated, filled with hundreds of stories of ‘reanimated’ corpses, daring thefts, black-hearted murders and children sold to the slaughter by their own mothers, and with Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic short story The Body Snatcher at the end, this macabre guide will delight everyone who loves Scotland's dark past.

Book excerpt: This is a history of Scotland as a society experiencing industrialization and urbanization in all its aspects and it takes the impact of these processes over their widest range from croft, bothy and hunting lodge to mines, foundries, and urban poor houses. The volumes create an awareness of the identity and distinctiveness of Scotland and recognize it as a multi-cultured society, the highland and lowland cultures being only the major ones among several.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Dundee is both fascinating and dramatic. Now, in Dundee – A Short History, Norman Watson brings to life the people and events that shaped this great city from its origins and early development, through centuries of poverty and prosperity to the golden years of jute, jam and journalism and beyond. In this absorbing and comprehensive history, meet the women who hijacked the Reformation, the sisters who terrorised Winston Churchill, the martyred George Wishart who kept only his hat, the whalerman James McIntosh who ate his to survive, and witness Shackleton’s remarkable expedition to far-north Dundee and the flights of fancy surrounding Preston Watson. And after tragic events like Monk’s massacre and the Tay Bridge disaster, the city’s extraordinary story sparkles into life again with its brilliant cultural renaissance and dramatic change of fortunes. Dundee – A Short History is an acclaimed and authoritative account of the remarkable story of one of Scotland’s greatest cities.

Download or read book Ian Fleming written by Nicholas Shakespeare and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh portrait of the man behind James Bond, and his enduring impact, by an award-winning biographer with unprecedented access to the Fleming family papers. Ian Fleming's greatest creation, James Bond, has had an enormous and ongoing impact on our culture. What Bond represents about ideas of masculinity, the British national psyche and global politics has shifted over time, as has the interpretation of the life of his author. But Fleming himself was more mysterious and subtle than anything he wrote. Ian's childhood with his gifted brother Peter and his extraordinary mother set the pattern for his ambition to be “the complete man,” and he would strive for the means to achieve this “completeness'”all his life. Only a thriller writer for his last twelve years, his dramatic personal life and impressive career in Naval Intelligence put him at the heart of critical moments in world history, while also providing rich inspiration for his fiction. Exceptionally well connected, and widely travelled, from the United States and Soviet Russia to his beloved Jamaica, Ian had access to the most powerful political figures at a time of profound change. Nicholas Shakespeare is one of the most gifted biographers working today. His talent for uncovering material that casts new light on his subjects is fully evident in this masterful, definitive biography. His unprecedented access to the Fleming archive and his nose for a story make this a fresh and eye-opening picture of the man and his famous creation.
