Download or read book Buchan Words An Ways written by Alexander Fenton and published by John Donald. This book was released on 2003-10-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandy Fenton was reared in North-East Scotland, first parish of Dumblane, where he started school, and then in Auchterless. It was an entirely rural upbringing. Though he was interested in the stone circles, Picts houses, hill forts and great buildings of earlier times, his major fascination was with the way folk worked and the way they spoke. still flexible enough to adapt to modern times. New ways of looking at the world come in, and words of earlier days, sayings and ways of speaking, inevitably fall by the wayside. If we can keep a record of what is passing, we will still be able to sense the flavour and atmosphere of the days of our fathers and grandfathers. It is the aim of this book to for just that. It is a blend of English and the Buchan dialect, and it contains a very full word list.

Download or read book Frozen Desire written by James Buchan and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Buchan's view, money is civilizations's greatest invention. All manner of things can be called money, and almost every culture has given money an ideal existence. Even so, Buchan points out, "money, which we see and hold every day, is diabolically hard to comprehend in words." It is this very elusiveness that is at the root of money's power to seduce. As Buchan explains, money is "frozen desire" - and because money can fulfill any mortal purpose, for many people the pursuit of money becomes the point of life. In a learned and elegant survey, Buchan illuminates the many different views of money across the centuries. Money was a subject in Homer and Herodotus. The Gospels glitter with money. The New World was colonized by men in search of money. The Age of Faith was followed by our present Age of Money, which, like the Age of Faith, is bound to end; and it was fear of the end that led to widespread panic after the stock market crashed in 1929 and 1987. Whether or not money is humanity's greatest invention, its meanings reveal a great deal about human nature; in showing us what we think of money, James Buchan shows us who we are.

Download or read book Days of God written by James Buchan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A myth-busting insider’s account of the Iranian Revolution of 1979 that destroyed US influence in the country and transformed the politics of the Middle East and the world. The 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran was one of the seminal events of our time. It inaugurated more than thirty years of war in the Middle East and fostered an Islamic radicalism that shapes foreign policy in the United States and Europe to this day. Drawing on his lifetime of engagement with Iran, James Buchan explains the history that gave rise to the Revolution, in which Ayatollah Khomeini and his supporters displaced the Shah with little difficulty. Mystifyingly to outsiders, the people of Iran turned their backs on a successful Westernized government for an amateurish religious regime. Buchan dispels myths about the Iranian Revolution and instead assesses the historical forces to which it responded. He puts the extremism of the Islamic regime in perspective: a truly radical revolution, it can be compared to the French or Russian Revolutions. Using recently declassified diplomatic papers and Persian-language news reports, diaries, memoirs, interviews, and theological tracts, Buchan illuminates both Khomeini and the Shah. His writing is always clear, dispassionate, and informative. The Iranian Revolution was a turning point in modern history, and James Buchan’s Days of God is, as London’s Independent put it, “a compelling, beautifully written history” of that event.
