Download or read book Got to Do The 42 written by Martin McNelis and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Events in the summer of 2012 inspired Martin McNelis to undertake a long-held ambition to visit all forty-two professional grounds in Scotland. Within an eight month period he travelled the length and breadth of the country, as such this book provides a unique snapshot of the Scottish game in a period when many seem to have written it off. Along the way Martin overcomes many obstacles, including the unpredictable Scottish weather, questionable sat-nav directions, changed kick-off times, reluctant sons and, on occasion, unhelpful stewards. What emerges is an odyssey that establishes the keen interest at all levels in the Scottish game from the Champions League to the Ramsdens Cup. Reports of fitba's demise are greatly exaggerated.

Download or read book From Trocchi to Trainspotting Scottish Critical Theory Since 1960 written by Michael Gardiner and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the course of Scottish Critical Theory since the 1960s. It provocatively argues that 'French' critical-theoretical ideas have developed in tandem with Scottish writing during this period. Its themes can be read as a breakdown in Scottish Enlightenment thinking after empire - precisely the process which permitted the rise of 'theory'.The book places within a wider theoretical context writers such as Muriel Spark, Edwin Morgan, Ian Hamilton Finlay, James Kelman, Alexander Trocchi, Janice Galloway, Alan Warner and Irvine Welsh, as well as more recent work by Alan Riach and Pat Kane, who can be seen to take the 'post-Enlightenment' narrative forward. In doing so, it draws on the work of the Scottish thinkers John Macmurray and R.D. Laing as well as the continental philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Paul Virilio.

Book excerpt: A fine biography. [It] is a most satisfying book and an important contribution to South African scholarship. CAPE TIMES Scottish poet, fighter for human rights in the Cape Colony, and abolitionist, reveals the role this key Enlightenment figure played in Africa and Britain. This biography of Thomas Pringle (1789-1834), poet, fighter for human rights in the Cape Colony, and abolitionist, reveals the role this key Enlightenment figure played in Africa and Britain. Honoured in South Africa as 'the father of South African English poetry', for his part in achieving a free press, for his fight for the settlers' rights in the colony, in Scotland as the founding editor of Blackwood's Magazine, and in England as instrumental inbringing in abolition, Thomas Pringle has not yet had the attention he deserves. Born on the Scottish Borders, Pringle entered literary life in late Englightenment Edinburgh, but in 1820 led a party of settlers to theCape Colony. After running a school, launching a literary journal and co-editing the Cape's first independent newspaper, he formed a group to fight for democratic rights for both the settlers and the dispossessed indigenous people. His biography reveals the important part he played in the literary and political world across two continents, and in championing the Khoisan and the increasingly dispossessed Nguni people. On returning to England he became Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society, and on 15 June 1834 announced the implementation of abolition. After actively opposing the apartheid government in South Africa Randolph Vigne worked in exile as a London publisher andlatterly, in Britain and South Africa, as author and editor of European and African historical studies.
