Book excerpt: Our long-awaited new book on Dunfermline contains 66 excellent pictures covering all aspects of the town's history. There are photographs of long-lost shops and buildings, several pictures of the trams and a view of the old Cinema Picture House in East Port. The Abbey and Abbot House recall Dunfermline's medieval heritage while the Co-operative Society and Andrew Carnegie's various benefactions tell of its Victorian prosperity. Pictures of Pittencrieff Glen include Vincenzo Macari's horse-drawn ice-cream van, the original glasshouse and children enjoying a Gala Day pageant. Industry is represented by Hay & Robertson's works, the St Leonard's power loom factory and Gilbert Rae's mineral water works. The Rosyth rent strike of 1919, Dunfermline's Highland Games and a glimpse of Pitreavie Cottages and the village of Masterton (both demolished to make way for the approach roads to the Forth Road Bridge) are some of the other diverse topics covered in this very comprehensive book.

Book excerpt: ALASDAIR GRAY is Scotland’s best known polymath. Born in 1934 in Glasgow, he graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1957 then lived by part-time teaching, painting and writing plays for TV and radio until 1981. His first novel, the loosely autobiographical, blackly fantastic LANARK, opened new imaginative territory for such varied writers as Jonathan Coe, A.L. Kennedy, Janice Galloway and Irvine Welsh. It led Anthony Burgess to call him “the most important Scottish writer since Sir Walter Scott”. His other published books include 1982 JANINE, POOR THINGS (winner of the Whitbread Award), THE BOOK OF PREFACES, THE ENDS OF OUR TETHERS and OLD MEN IN LOVE. In this book, with reproductions of his murals, portraits, landscapes and illustrations, Gray tells of the failures and successes which have led to his pictures being accepted by a new generation of visual artists.

Download or read book Civics as Applied Sociology written by Patrick Geddes and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Civics: As Applied Sociology," Sir Patrick Geddes examines the idea of civics as a practical application of sociological principles to urban planning and the organization of society. The book reflects Geddes's belief that understanding human behavior and social relationships is essential to creating well-functioning communities and cities. Geddes introduces the concept of "civics" as a field that goes beyond mere governance and public administration. He argues that civics should encompass a broader understanding of how people interact with their environment, how communities form, and how cities can be designed to enhance the well-being of their inhabitants. The book delves into topics such as city planning, social organization, and the impact of the physical environment on human behavior. Geddes advocates for a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to urban planning, taking into account not only physical infrastructure but also the social, cultural, and ecological aspects of urban life. Geddes's ideas in "Civics: As Applied Sociology" were influential in the early development of urban planning as a field of study and practice. He emphasized the importance of understanding the social fabric of communities and the need to incorporate sociological insights into the design and development of cities. This book is a significant contribution to the fields of sociology and urban planning, highlighting the importance of considering the human element in the design and organization of urban spaces. Geddes's ideas continue to influence urban planning and the study of cities to this day.
Download or read book From the Heart written by Sandy Clark and published by Black & White Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "From the Heart", Sandy Clark tells the story of his headline-grabbing career in football as a striker, manager, coach and now much-respected pundit. From his early days with his hometown team Airdrie, Sandy Clark was a prolific scorer and notched more than 100 goals for the Diamonds. He caught the eye of both Sir Alex Ferguson and Celtic who tried to prise him away and was later named PFA Player of the Year before heading south to West Ham to star alongside Trevor Brooking, Billy Bonds and Tony Cottee. Sandy reveals why he then returned to Rangers and how he helped a young Ally McCoist through those difficult early days, before they went on to help the Light Blues to Skol Cup glory. He also reveals the pain and agony of the 1985-86 season when, with Hearts, he missed out on a league and Scottish Cup double. And he relives his Tynecastle memories, from his derby day glories to Wallace Mercer asking him to value all the Hibs players ahead of his controversial attempt to buy their capital rivals.Sandy speaks openly about his own managerial stint at Tynecastle, where he had to controversially sack Justin Fashanu and for the first time he talks about his heartbreak when Chris Robinson showed him the door and why he later turned down the chance to manage Hearts for a second spell. Clark tells all from his time at St Johnstone, where he led them to third spot, a cup final and back into Europe, where they took on the might of Monaco and also lifts the lid on the drugs nightmare with George O'Boyle and Kevin Thomas and how he believes it led to his eventual sacking. He went on to work under Jimmy Calderwood and Jimmy Nicholl at Dunfermline, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen and says why he believes an Aberdeen legend was behind their controversial Pittodrie departure. Controversial, honest and full of brand new anecdotes, "From the Heart" is an unmissable football story.

Download or read book Women of Power in Anglo Saxon England written by Annie Whitehead and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known lives of women who ruled, schemed, and made peace and war, between the seventh and eleventh centuries: “Meticulously researched.” —Catherine Hanley, author of Matilda: Empress, Queen, Warrior Many Anglo-Saxon kings are familiar. Æthelred the Unready is one—but less is written about his wife, who was consort of two kings and championed one of her sons over the others, or about his mother, who was an anointed queen and powerful regent, but was also accused of witchcraft and regicide. A royal abbess educated five bishops and was instrumental in deciding the date of Easter; another took on the might of Canterbury and Rome and was accused by the monks of fratricide. Royal mothers wielded power: Eadgifu, wife of Edward the Elder, maintained a position of authority during the reigns of both her sons. Æthelflaed, Lady of the Mercians, was a queen in all but name, while few have heard of Queen Seaxburh, who ruled Wessex, or Queen Cynethryth, who issued her own coinage. She, too, was accused of murder, and was also, like many of the royal women, literate and highly educated. Ranging from seventh-century Northumbria to eleventh-century Wessex and making extensive use of primary sources, Women of Power in Anglo-Saxon England examines the lives of individual women in a way that has often been done for the Anglo-Saxon men but not for their wives, sisters, mothers, and daughters.
