Book excerpt: The final book of the trilogy ‘The Janus Set’. Now, as outlaws of the Federation, Aramay and her siblings perceive how Her Royal Highness Jathonica is bringing about her total dominion of the Federation. Already Jathonica has millions of bio-androids infiltrating the upper echelons of the Federation. Logistics is her next target although her plans appear to have been momentarily thwarted. Bryton, aware of his perilous predicament decides to confront Jathonica head-on. His only reliance is with the natives, a presumed ally although he knows very little about them. This is where Aramay learns the true potential of the natives; where she and the natives learn of the lost Atholl and ultimately, the single reason of their efforts. A task they never sought but one which brought Aramay and the natives together, perfecting their skills ... perhaps for others.

Download or read book James I written by Michael Brown and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conditioned by a childhood surrounded by the rivalries of the Stewart family, and by eighteen years of enforced exile in England, James I was to prove a king very different from his elderly and conservative forerunners. This major study draws on a wide range of sources, assessing James I's impact on his kingdom. Michael Brown examines James's creation of a new, prestigious monarchy based on a series of bloody victories over his rivals and symbolised by lavish spending at court. He concludes that, despite the apparent power and glamour, James I's 'golden age' had shallow roots; after a life of drastically swinging fortunes, James I was to meet his end in a violent coup, a victim of his own methods. But whether as lawgiver, tyrant or martyr, James I has cast a long shadow over the history of Scotland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Sweet, funny, and emotional...the perfect escape.’ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Reader Review Escape to the Highland Coral Beach and let the sunshine warm your heart... Beatrice Halliday needs a holiday. Booking a trip to the Highlands on a whim, Beatrice hopes learning Gaelic in a beautiful Scottish coastal village will be just the change her life needs. But Port Willow Bay isn’t exactly as the website promised... Instead of learning a new language, she’s booked in to learn the ancient skill of willow weaving, her hotel room is Princess and the Pea themed (with a stack of mattresses for her bed!) and her tutor is Atholl Fergusson, grumpy - but utterly gorgeous - landlord of the hotel where Beatrice is staying. Worse still, she’s the only one booked on the course, meaning lots of time spent up close with Atholl (and his mesmerising blue eyes). But as Beatrice finds herself falling in love with Port Willow Bay and its people, and as she discovers the kind heart beneath Atholl’s stony exterior, can she really leave?

Book Synopsis The Challenge of Epistemology by : Christina Toren
Download or read book The Challenge of Epistemology written by Christina Toren and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epistemology poses particular problems for anthropologists whose task it is to understand manifold ways of being human. Through their work, anthropologists often encounter people whose ideas concerning the nature and foundations of knowledge are at odds with their own. Going right to the heart of anthropological theory and method, this volume discusses issues that have vexed practicing anthropologists for a long time. The authors are by no means in agreement with one another as to where the answers might lie. Some are primarily concerned with the clarity and theoretical utility of analytical categories across disciplines; others are more inclined to push ethnographic analysis to its limits in an effort to demonstrate what kind of sense it can make. All are aware of the much-wanted differences that good ethnography can make in explaining the human sciences and philosophy. The contributors show a continued commitment to ethnography as a profoundly radical intellectual endeavor that goes to the very roots of inquiry into what it is to be human, and, to anthropology as a comparative project that should be central to any attempt to understand who we are.

Book Synopsis More Fruitful Than the Soil by : Andrew MacKillop
Download or read book More Fruitful Than the Soil written by Andrew MacKillop and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2001-01-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the origins, development and impact of British Army recruiting in the Scottish Highlands in the period from 1739 to 1815. It examines the interaction of government, landlords and tenantry. Recruiting is analysed within the context of rapid socio-economic change. The emphasis is on tenant reactions to recruiting, and the study concludes that this was a vital factor in bringing about change in the tenurial structure in the region. Both the decline of the tacksman and the emergence of crofting are linked to the process of regiment raising. Military recruiting involved a clear recognition on the part of the Highland landlords and tenantry that the Empire and the 'fiscal military state' offered alternative sources of revenue. Both groups 'colonised' various levels of the state's military machine. As a result of this close involvement, the government remained a vital influence in the area well after 1745, and a major player in the region's economy. Recruiting was not simply a residue of clanship, rather it was a form of commercial activity, analogous to kelping.
Book Synopsis Britain's lost revolution? by : Daniel Szechi
Download or read book Britain's lost revolution? written by Daniel Szechi and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a frontal attack on an entrenched orthodoxy. Our official, public vision of the early eighteenth century demonises Louis XIV and France and marginalises the Scots Jacobites. Louis is seen as an incorrigibly imperialistic monster and the enemy of liberty and all that is good and progressive. The Jacobite Scots are presented as so foolishly reactionary and dumbly loyal that they were (sadly) incapable of recognising their manifest destiny as the cannon fodder of the first British empire. But what if Louis acted in defence of a nation’s liberties and (for whatever reason) sought to right a historic injustice? What if the Scots Jacobites turn out to be the most radical, revolutionary party in early eighteenth-century British politics? Using newly discovered sources from the French and Scottish archives this exciting new book challenges our fundamental assumptions regarding the emergence of the fully British state in the early eighteenth century.

Book Synopsis Lost Battlefields of Britain by : Martin Hackett
Download or read book Lost Battlefields of Britain written by Martin Hackett and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2005-10-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Isles have witnessed hundreds of battles, both great and small, in their two thousand years of recorded history, but not all are widely remembered today. Many of these battles are well known, due to their far-reaching consequences, their sheer scale or the involvement of famous protagonists. Even so, many battles have never been properly investigated, perhaps because their importance was never understood or because they have never been included in previous books on British battlefields. In this book, Martin Hackett examines ten forgotten British battles, covering the length and breadth of Britain and some 900 years of warfare. For each, he provides a concise account of the battle itself and analyses its military, archaeological and political significance. Each entry is accompanied by current photographs of the location, a modern map of the battlefield with suggested tours and information on exploring the site today.

Book Synopsis Chamberlain and the Lost Peace by : John Charmley
Download or read book Chamberlain and the Lost Peace written by John Charmley and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 1999-05-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of World War II assume that it was, in some way, a triumph for Britain. John Charmley’s important new reappraisal of the immediate origins of the war is based on extensive new work in the Chamberlain papers. It starts from Chamberlain’s belief that even a victorious war would be a disaster—it would destroy the foundations of British power and hand over Europe to Russian domination. Reconstructing Chamberlain’s policy assumptions, Mr. Charmley argues that they were neither naïve nor foolish. While focusing on the prime minister’s personality, he also shows that Chamberlain’s views were shared by many other leading politicians and diplomats. Mr. Charmley thus resurrects a whole school of thought on foreign policy which was forgotten in the wake of Churchill’s triumph. Unlike Churchill, Chamberlain was not prepared to gamble an empire; but events produced, according to Mr. Charmley, indeed a “human tragedy.” Early British reviews of the book have called it “important,” “entertaining and absorbing,” “concise and spirited,” and “provocative.” The Guardian wrote: “Chamberlain hardly emerges a hero from these pages, but at least there is no excuse left for regarding him as no more than a wimp in a wing-collar.”
