In very good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.This book gathers together more than a hundred pictures of Scotland. In sunlight and shadow. In winter and summer. It is pictures like these that wandering Scots carry in their minds as they seek their fortunes all over the world and their thoughts turn back to Scotland. We love Scotland, but we wander. Scotland is our home. But the world is our opportunity. Those who leave Scotland to seek their fortunes have powerful gifts to offer. One of them is a genius for survival, which is not an art, or a science, and least of all is it an accident. We can go to the ends of the earth and live there perfectly happily. We see the globe with reference to the home in which we grew up.

In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.The Changing Face of the Urban SceneHong Kong has its history,of course (and even in the face of the government's rapid 'urban renewal' programme,it is starting to show some sensitivity to the best parts of its architectural heritage), but it feels like a place that came into existence only yesterday or, if such a thing were possible, that came into existence tomorrow, before being somehow projected back to the present.Hong Kong doesn't feel at all exotic in the way of other Asian cities, but the feeling of familiarity feels unfamiliarly new. What we have here is not the radiant city of Le Corbusier but a neon city of super-modernity. Hong Kong reminds us that we are living through a great renaissance of the skyscraper. Those early ones by Louis Sullivan actually seem archaic, almost Victorian, compared with the gleaming cyber-style that has taken deep-root in Asia.To see Central lit up… Read More

Revealing himself only when they were far out to sea, he baited his magic hook and, chanting a powerful incantation, cast his line. There was no doubts that the fish would be wondrous, but even Maui's brothers were in awe of it when it leapt through the waves. Falling on the fish in their hunger, they hacked at it, tearing its edges and pitting its surface. So Aotearoa was born to the world of light.

When his tour of duty was almost over, and weaker spirits were thinking only of home, he seized… Read More
