Download or read book The Spirit of Badenoch written by Judy McCutcheon and published by Austin Macauley. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the environmental, historical and cultural changes to the land and inhabitants of a little valley in the Highlands of Scotland, Badenoch, stretching from pre-history to the cessation of World War 1. Bounded by the Monadhliath and Grampian ranges, with River Spey flowing through to the sea, the topography, environment and climate dictated the number of people the valley could support. Control over land and resources was fundamental in maintaining social relationships and the folk from Badenoch did it well. Australia and New Zealand provided an opportunity and a lifestyle that they could only dream of in far-off Badenoch. Land was the key. Some returned to Badenoch, having made their fortune, whilst others settled into their new homes; this book tells their stories and the story of the land they left behind.

Book Synopsis A Private Empire by : Stephen Foster
Download or read book A Private Empire written by Stephen Foster and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Private Empire explores Britain's imperial past through the eyes and experiences of a single family. Historian Stephen Foster focuses on the Macphersons of Blairgowrie in Scotland, who recorded their private and public lives through five generations in an extraordinary archive of letters, documents and diaries. Elegantly presented with contemporary paintings and photographs, A Private Empire tells an intimate story of ambition and frustration, love and deception, wisdom and folly, pride and shame, passion and restraint, an attachment to place, an affection for kin-all set against the grand shifting background of Britain's imperial rule. 'In a world overpopulated by self-indulgent family histories, A Private Empire is that rarity which makes one keep reading to find out what happened to its cast of strangers.' Stephen Wilks, The Canberra Times 'A remarkably impressive book. The story he tells is an extraordinary one; indeed if it were written in the fictional genre of the family saga you would think he was stretching credulity.' Professor Stuart Macintyre, AO 'Superbly researched and wonderfully revelatory.' Professor John Mackenzie, The Scotsman 'An enthralling read and an important piece of history.' Undiscovered Scotland

Book Synopsis The Wild Black Region by : David Taylor
Download or read book The Wild Black Region written by David Taylor and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the fascinating story of Badenoch, a forgotten region in accounts of Scottish history. Situated in the heart of the Highlands and with its own distinct historic and geographic identity, Badenoch was in the throes of dramatic change in the post-Culloden decades. This ground-breaking study reveals some radical differences from trends across the rest of the Highlands. Foremost was the role of the indigenous entrepreneurial tacksmen in driving the rapidly growing commercial economy as cattle graziers, drovers and agricultural improvers, inevitably provoking confrontation with the absentee and ostentatious Dukes of Gordon. Meanwhile, the common people still operated within a subsistence farming economy heavily dependent on a surprisingly sophisticated use of their mountain environment. Though suffering great hardship, they too were quick to exploit any potential commercial opportunities. Economic forces, social ambition and post-Culloden legislation created intolerable pressures within the old clan hierarchy, as Duke, tacksman and erstwhile clansman tried to forge their individual - and often irreconcilable - destinies in a rapidly changing world. In doing so, all were increasingly drawn into the wider, and often lucrative, dimensions of British state and empire.

Book Synopsis The Book of Witchcraft by : Bram Stoker
Download or read book The Book of Witchcraft written by Bram Stoker and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 3681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bram Stoker's 'The Book of Witchcraft' is a compendium of historical and cultural analysis, meticulously amalgamating an array of perspectives on the phenomena of witchcraft, sorcery, and the supernatural. Stoker's narrative, rich in detail and steeped in the lore and legends of centuries past, charts the course of magic and necromancy across Europe and America, from the darkest rituals to the sensational witch trials. His literary style weaves historical fact with the occult, presenting a tableau of social commentary within the broader literary context of Victorian-era fascination with the gothic and the macabre. Readers are treated to both an erudite history and a collection of the most striking tales and studies on the subject, making it a singular work within the annals of supernatural literature. Bram Stoker, best known for his magnum opus 'Dracula,' demonstrates a profound interest in the darker corners of the human psyche and the societal forces that shape belief in the supernatural. This curated anthology aligns with Stoker's lifelong fascination with the liminal spaces where myth and reality intertwine. His personal exploration into the realms of fear and superstition illuminates the cultural underpinnings that prompted such fervent witch hunts and trials, offering insight into how these practices both reflected and shaped societal norms and fears of the times. 'The Book of Witchcraft' appeals to both the connoisseur of historical folklore and the lay reader eager to delve into the intricacies of occult beliefs and their real-world ramifications. Stoker's scholarly approach provides a compelling entry point for those seeking to understand the pervasive power of witchcraft narratives in shaping Western culture and history. It is recommended for history enthusiasts, fans of Stoker's gothic fictions, and anyone interested in the intricate tapestry of how supernatural beliefs are woven into the fabric of societal evolution.

Book excerpt: It is not without irony that in an age characterised by the dissolution of certainty – a consequence of digital dematerialisation and the catastrophic destabilisation of our social institutions and natural world – architecture, for so long the repository for our myths and the vessel for our intangible narratives and rituals, has been stripped bare. Increasingly preoccupied with the physical, material and measurable, architecture has forfeited its original purpose as a mediating link between the tacit and the tangible. Drawing on the current resurgence and our enduring cultural fascination with the ethereal and uncanny, this AD frames the spectral as a deconstructive gesture that undermines the fixedness and certainties of binary logics, a means to develop new practices and positions from which to address our contemporary uncertainties. Gathering a body of work that explores and speculates on architecture’s long romance with the incorporeal, the issue is intended as a catalyst through which latency, contingency and indeterminacy, inherent characteristics of the architectural condition, can once more be valued, cultivated and nurtured.
