What do we mean by ‘Scottish literature’? Why does it matter? How do we engage with it? Bringing infectious enthusiasm and a lifetime’s experience to bear on this multi-faceted literary nation, Alan Riach, Professor of Scottish Literature at the University of Glasgow, sets out to guide you through the varied and ever-evolving landscape of Scottish literature. A comprehensive and extensive work designed not only for scholars but also for the generally curious, Scottish Literature: an introduction tells the tale of Scotland’s many voices across the ages, from Celtic pre-history to modern mass media. Forsaking critical jargon, Riach journeys chronologically through individual works and writers, both the famed and the forgotten, alongside broad overviews of cultural contexts which connect texts to their own times. Expanding the restrictive canon of days gone by, Riach also sets down a new core body of ‘Scottish Literature’: key writers and works in English, Scots, and Gaelic.Ranging across time and genre, Scottish Literature: an introduction invites you to hear Scotland through her own words.

''Thaim wi a guid Scots tongue in their heid are fit tae gang ower the warld'' In The Scottish World, renowned broadcaster Billy Kay takes us on a global journey of discovery, highlighting the extraordinary influence the Scots have had on communities and cultures on almost every continent. While others have questioned the self-confidence of the Scots, Kay has travelled the world from Bangkok to Brazil, Warsaw to Waikiki and found ringing endorsements for the integrity and intellect, the poetry and passion of the Scottish people in every country he has visited. He expands people''s view of Scotland by relating remarkable stories of the wealthy Scottish merchant community in Gdansk; of national geniuses of Scots descent, such as Lermontov in Russia and Grieg in Norway; of an American Civil War blamed on Sir Walter Scott and initiated in the St Andrew''s Society of Charleston; of inspirational missionaries in Calabar and Budapest; of Scotch professors establishing football in soccer strongholds such as Barcelona and São Paulo; of pioneers like Sandeman and Cockburn, and the Scottish roots of many of the great wines of Europe; and of their amazing involvement in liberation movements in Malawi, Chile, Peru, Greece, Corsica and India. The Scottish World is a celebration of the enormous contribution the Scots have made to the modern world.

Vibrační plošina inSPORTline Julisa nabízí 3 různé druhy vibrací - horizontální ze strany na stranu, oscilační (vertikální kývání) a 3D vibrace. Jednotlivé typy vibrací můžete i různě kombinovat. V každém programu máte na výběr ze 60 rychlostí vibrací. Snadno si tak zvolíte náročnost posilování nebo intenzitu masáže. Diody na stranách podle zvolené zátěže efektně svítí - zeleně, oranžově, nebo červeně. Měnit nastavení můžete pomocí přiloženého dálkového ovládání v podobě hodinek, které snadno připnete na ruku, nebo přímo na panelu s dotykovým LCD displejem. Ten přehledně zobrazuje aktuální rychlost, zvolený program, množství spálených kalorií a čas cvičení. Díky mírně prohnutému tvaru plošiny je cvičení komfortnější a zároveň stabilnější, především při širším rozkročení nebo při sedu. Pokud jsou navíc zapnuty všechny módy vibrací dohromady, při poloze tzv. surfaře pak takto tvarovaná deska krásně simuluje právě surfařskou jízdu na vlnách. I přes menší rozměry, které umožňují snadné skladování, působí vibrační plošina robustním dojmem. To dokládá i vysoká nosnost 120 kg. Protiskluzové gumové nožky v kombinaci s hmotností stroje 18 kg a přiloženou gumovou podložkou zajišťují, že se během cvičení plošina ani nehne a je velmi bezpečná.

Typy vibrací: oscilační vibrace - vertikální kývání (amplituda 1 - 2 mm, frekvence 25 - 40 Hz) 3D vibrace - několik směrů vibrací, deska se nijak nehoupe, ale celá vibruje (amplituda 0 - 12 mm, frekvence 6 - 12 Hz) horizontální vibrace - pohyb ze strany na stranu (amplituda 0,5 - 4 mm, frekvence 7 - 11,5 Hz) kombinace oscilace a 3D vibrace kombinace oscilace a horizontální vibrace kombinace 3D vibrace a horizontální vibrace kombinace všech druhů vibrací Tichý a efektivní Pocítíte, jak trénink dokonale zapadne do rytmu vašeho dne.

Know your from Arbroath smokies from your wynds, your trews from your sporran, and . . . lang may yer lum reek!Some say that Scots use more Scottish slang than English, but whether that’s true or not, the speech of most Scots is certainly peppered with slang. So, whether you’re visiting Glesga (Glasgow), home to Weegies, short for Glaswegians, the Granite City (Aberdeen) or the capital – known as Auld Reekie for the same reason that London was once, and sometimes still is, known as the Big Smoke – this concise guide will come in handy.There are many old Scottish sayings dating back to our grandparents’ day and beyond, but there are also many fairly recent inventions. Some of the older ones are rarely used now, which may be just as well, as they may baffle even a Scot, particularly depending on which part of Scotland you’re in.Scottish English varies greatly from the Highlands to South Ayrshire and from the east of the country to the west, with different words sometimes being used to describe the same thing in different places.Some sayings will ‘make yer heid mince’, some are poetic and many will just make you laugh. This is a book for visitors to Scotland and for anyone crossing the border, in either direction. It will also evoke a pang of homesickness in any Scottish expatriate.While a concise guide can’t possibly be exhaustive, it can, as this handy pocket book does, offer a revealing and entertaining selection of words and idioms in common usage.Gemini PocketsFrom little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.

Julie Andrews is, quite simply, a phenomenon. She has probably brought more joy to more people than any other star of her generation'' - Richard Attenborough. Julie Andrews is the last of the great Hollywood musical stars - her extraordinary career spans more than forty years. Her first film, Mary Poppins, was Disney''s most successful film, and in 1965 The Sound of Music rescued Twentieth Century Fox from bankruptcy. Three years later, Star! almost put the studio back under, and the leading lady of both films fell as spectacularly as she had risen.But Julie Andrews is nothing if not a survivor; and despite many setbacks - including the tragedy of losing her singing voice in 1997 after a botched operation - she''s still a performer, recently starring in Shrek and The Princess Diaries. Richard Stirling''s deeply researched biography - based on many years of contact with Julie - is a frank but affectionate portrait of an enduring icon of stage and screen.

''A superb book ... Anybody interested in Scottish history needs to read it'' Andrew Marr, Sunday TimesEighteenth-century Scotland is famed for generating many of the enlightened ideas which helped to shape the modern world. But there was in the same period another side to the history of the nation. Many of Scotland''s people were subjected to coercive and sometimes violent change, as traditional ways of life were overturned by the ''rational'' exploitation of land use. The Scottish Clearances is a superb and highly original account of this sometimes terrible process, which changed the Lowland countryside forever, as it also did, more infamously, the old society of the Highlands.Based on a vast array of original sources, this pioneering book is the first to chart this tumultuous saga in one volume, with due attention to evictions and loss of land in both north and south of the Highland line. In the process, old myths are exploded and familiar assumptions undermined. With many fascinating details and the sense of an epic human story, The Scottish Clearances is an evocative memorial to all whose lives were irreparably changed in the interests of economic efficiency.This is a story of forced clearance, of the destruction of entire communities and of large-scale emigration. Some winners were able to adapt and exploit the new opportunities, but there were also others who lost everything. The clearances created the landscape of Scotland today, but it came at a huge price.

Scotland, like so many other nations, has produced poetry that is patriotic, that paints landscapes, people and situations, that speaks to personal matters, and those equally everyday matters pertaining to the mind and to the spirit. The Christian heritage of Scotland has long been played out in verse, through Celtic devotional works, Catholic works, Protestant works, and not forgetting satires on the Puritanism in Scotland''s post-Reformation identity. Language and culture have been equally multifarious in the nation so that three major languages: Scots, English and Gaelic (examples of which are translated in this anthology) compete and co-exist in poetry. The fifteenth century poet, William Dunbar, joked that there was no music in hell except for the bagpipes, and there speaks something of the historic lowland attitude to the Gaidhealtachd (Gaelic speaking Scotland, principally the highlands). Hostility and eventual harmony is a marker of the Scottish highlands/lowlands divide as much as for that between Scotland and England. Historic tension is not to be dismissed but, certainly, the poetic palette of Scotland is one of multilingual richness, and shows an enduringly high quality whatever the cultural vicissitudes that play a part. The medieval Makars, most prominently Robert Henryson, William Dunbar and Gavin Douglas, are often taken to represent a golden age when poetry in Scots ran the full range of mood, mode and subject matter. If this has, perhaps, never been bettered, the sixteenth century lyrics and sonnets of Alexander Montgomerie, Alexander Scott and other poets around the court of James VI, and the eighteenth century vernacular ''revival'' of Allan Ramsay, Alexander Ross, Robert Fergusson and Robert Burns represent at points equally brilliant periods; and the twentieth century ''modern renaissance'' of Hugh MacDiarmid, Violet Jacob and William Souter proved that Scots remained a viable poetic currency, as a living poet such as Tom Leonard continues to demonstrate. Poetry in Gaelic too has its tradition of peaks where the flame seems to burn more visibly at certain times than others. Alexander Macdonald (Alasdair Mac Mhaghstir Alasdair), Rob Donn (Rob Donn MacAoidh) and Duncan MacIntyre (Donnchadh BÃ n Mac an t-Saoir) make the eighteenth century a high point in achievement, while Sorley Maclean, George Campbell Hay and Iain Crichton Smith do similarly for the twentieth century: the latter three, arguably, making Gaelic verse the most able variety in Scotland during the last sixty years. Historically as many successes are scored in Scottish poetry in English. James Thomson, author of The Seasons, joins James Macpherson translator/creator of the poetry of ''Ossian'' in promulgating works that are seminally iconic and influential right across the artistic genres, painting and music as much as literature, in western culture. The romantic, patriotic poetic image of Scotland is sounded in English as much as in any other language, as the writing of Walter Scott or Lady Nairne attests. James (B.V.) Thomson, John Davidson, Edwin Muir, Norman MacCaig, W.S. Graham, Edwin Morgan, Liz Lochhead, Kathleen Jamie and Don Paterson are all deeply Scottish poets speaking through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to the worldwide audience that exists for creative utterance that both emanates from but is never limited by the particularity of place. Scotland''s story is one that is never certain, but, enduringly and importantly its poetry is.

The Scottish Wars of Independence are often celebrated for the heroic deeds of men, but behind the scenes, noblewomen played an equally pivotal role in shaping the nation’s fate. In Women in the Scottish Wars of Independence, Beth Reid brings to life the stories of these remarkable women, from royalty to influential landowners, whose contributions to Scotland’s turbulent history have long been overlooked. From noblewomen like Isabella MacDuff, Agnes Randolph, and Agnes Comyn—who made kings, defended castles, and led conspiracies—to royal women who influenced key decisions and defined dynasties, this book paints a vivid picture of resilience, strategy, and courage. Through chronicles, royal charters, and material culture, Reid uncovers how these women navigated war and politics, revealing their critical yet underappreciated roles in shaping the outcomes of the Wars of Independence. Focusing on noblewomen rather than ordinary lives, this book offers a fresh perspective on a male-dominated narrative, shedding light on the influential partnerships and actions of women who stood at the heart of Scotland's history. With meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Women in the Scottish Wars of Independence is essential reading for history enthusiasts eager to explore the often-untold contributions of Scotland’s noblewomen during one of its most formative periods.

''Every Scot should read it. Scotland now has the lively, provocative and positive history it deserves.'' Irvine Welsh, GuardianA dramatic and intriguing history of how Scotland produced the institutions, beliefs and human character that have made the West into the most powerful culture in the world.Arthur Herman argues that Scotland''s turbulent history, from William Wallace to the Presbyterian Lords of the Covenant, laid the foundations for ''the Scottish miracle''. Within one hundred years, the nation that began the eighteenth century dominated by the harsh and repressive Scottish Kirk had evolved into Europe''s most literate society, producing an idea of modernity that has shaped much of civilisation as we know it. He follows the lives and work of thinkers such as Adam Smith and David Hume, writers such as Burns and Boswell, as well as architects, technicians and inventors, and traces their legacy into the twentieth century. Written with wit, erudition and clarity, The Scottish Enlightenment claims the Scots'' rightful place in the history of the western world.
