Along with his contemporaries Edwin Morgan and Hugh MacDiarmid, Sorley MacLean is recognised as one of the most important Scottish poets of the twentieth century. Born at Oscaig on the island of Raasay in 1911, MacLean was greatly influenced by Gaelic tradition and by contemporary cultural and political ideas from around the world. In many ways he brought Scottish Gaelic poetry into the modern era, and he is a key figure in modern Scottish literature. MacLean''s poetry ranges beyond Scotland to confront European and world events and politics. This book offers a detailed study of MacLean''s poems, providing insight into the context of his work. It also includes close readings of selected poems that best represent his key themes and ideas. Emma Dymock''s SCOTNOTE study guide is ideal for senior school pupils and students of all ages as a general introduction or as a starting point for more in-depth study.

Fitztroy Maclean was one of the real-life inspirations for super-spy James Bond. After adventures in Soviet Russia before the war, Maclean fought with the SAS in North Africa in 1942. There he specialised in hair-raising commando raids behind enemy lines, including the daring and outrageous kidnapping of the German Consul in Axis-controlled Iraq. Maclean''s extraordinary adventures in the Western Desert and later fighting alongside Tito''s partisans in Yugoslavia are blistering reading and show what it took to be a British hero who broke the mould . . .

Nowhere in the world has such a rich, distinguished, and continuous tradition of pottery production developed as in China.

Doug MacLean, former NHL coach, general manager, team president, and one of the game’s biggest personalities, reveals how teams build for greatness—or fail to—on hockey’s most anticipated day. A Moneyball for hockey.The NHL draft is a critical time for teams, when the foundation for future championships is laid—or when championship dreams die. Only time will tell if a draft is successful, but a failed draft can severely set teams back for seasons, much to the dread of ownership, management, and most importantly, the fans. For even the most die-hard hockey fan, the preparation for draft day is a black box. Former president, general manager, and coach Doug MacLean takes readers behind the scenes, from the 2022 draft in Montreal to revealing draft stories from the past, to show how players are discovered and evaluated to create successful teams. Just as Moneyball illustrated the value of analytics in building teams in baseball and beyond, Draft Day shows the careful considerations that go into assessing talent for success. What is that balance in today’s game between metrics and instinct, between analytics and traditional scouting?

Proslulé svědectví sira Fitzroye Macleana o jeho diplomatickém a vojenském působení mezi lety 1937-1945. Macleanovo dobrodružné vyprávění, podané s nezaměnitelným vtipem a osobním šarmem, posloužilo jako jeden ze vzorů pro Flemingovu sérii románů o Jamesi Bondovi. První část se odehrává v Sovětském svazu v letech 1937-1939, kdy je Maclean na diplomatické misi v Moskvě a za značného rizika cestuje po odlehlých částech Ruska a Střední Asie nebo pozorně sleduje stalinské monstrprocesy. Druhá líčí jeho válečné působení v pouštním komandu v severní Africe, kde bojuje proti Rommelově armádě. Třetí část mapuje roky 1943-1945, kdy byl Churchillem pověřen vedením výsadku, který měl podporovat a koordinovat Titovy partyzány v Bosně a Srbsku. Maclean s Titem navázal přátelský vztah a věnuje hodně prostoru právě Titově osobě a peripetiím jeho vztahu se Spojenci - účastní se i zásadních jednání a mírových dohod. Macleanovy paměti jsou žánrově mnohostranné - mají charakter poutavého cestopisu, dobrodružného válečného románu i pronikavých geopolitických esejů. Přinášejí zásadní svědectví o stalinismu, bojích druhé světové války, o Titovi a tehdejší situaci na Balkáně. Kniha je psána poutavým a svižným stylem a její četba přináší vedle historického poznání také mimořádný čtenářský zážitek.

In Scotland’s Outer Hebrides on the rugged Isle of Lewis, five powerful award-winning monuments commemorate the island’s Land Heroes. Their courageous struggle for Land Law Reform resulted in the thriving Gaelic speaking community that Lewis encompasses today.The intention of this book is twofold: through the photography of Robin Gillanders, the design, setting and materials of these ‘sentinels in stone’ are brought together for all to enjoy, while essays by distinguished Scottish art historians, and Gaelic speaking island historian Dr Joni Buchannan, tell a vivid story of the events commemorated by each monument, examining their iconography, and exploring each work within the context of a wider cultural rebellion against the hegemony of imposed values.Compelled by Memory also pays tribute to the artist Will Maclean. He oversaw all five memorials installed between 1994 and 2019, initially designing those at Balallan, Aignish and Gress River, and then with fellow artist Marian Leven designed An Sùileachan on the west coast.

Living and working within a few streets of their Parkhill Road studios, the artists form Unit One, a cornerstone of the Modernist movement which would bring them international renown. Drawing on previously unpublished archive material, Caroline Maclean’s electrifying Circles and Squares brings the work, loves and rivalries of the Hampstead Modernists to life as never before, capturing a brief moment in time when a new way of living seemed possible. United in their belief in art’s power to change the world, her cast of trailblazers radiate hope and ambition ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Since its first publication in 1984, Night Falls in Ardnamurchan has become a classic account of the life and death of a Highland community. The author weaves his own humorous and perceptive account of crofting with extracts from his father''s journal - a terse, factual and down to earth vision of the day-to-day tasks of crofting life.It is an unusual and memorable story that also illuminates the shifting, often tortuous relationships between children and their parents. Alasdair Maclean reveals his own struggle to come to terms with his background and the isolated community he left so often and to which he returned again and again. In this isolated community is seen a microcosm of something central to Scottish identity - the need to escape against the tug of home.

The first single-volume biography of Berlin, one of the world''s great cities - told via twenty-one portraits, from medieval times to the twenty-first century.A city devastated by Allied bombs, divided by a Wall, then reunited and reborn, Berlin today resonates with the echo of lives lived, dreams realised and evils executed. No other city has repeatedly been so powerful and fallen so low. And few other cities have been so shaped and defined by individual imaginations.Through vivid portraits spanning five centuries, Rory MacLean reveals the varied and rich history of Berlin, from its brightest to its darkest moments. We encounter an ambitious prostitute refashioning herself as a princess, a Scottish mercenary fighting for the Prussian Army, Marlene Dietrich flaunting her sexuality and Hitler fantasising about the mega-city Germania. The result is a uniquely imaginative biography of one of the world''s most volatile yet creative cities.

"Gillian Laub’s photographs of her family from the past twenty years, now collected in one volume, explore the ways society’s biggest questions are revealed in our most intimate relationships.Family Matters zeroes in on the artist’s family as an example of the way Donald Trump’s knack for sowing discord and division has impacted communities, individuals, and households across the country. As Laub explains, “I began to unpack my relationship to my relatives—which turned out to be much more indicative of my relationship to the outside world than I had ever thought, and the key to exploring questions I had about the effects of wealth, vanity, childhood, aging, fragility, political conflict, religious traditions, and mortality.” These issues became tangible in 2016, when Laub and her parents found themselves on opposing sides of the most divisive presidential election in recent US history; and further exacerbated in the lead-up to the 2020 election, in the wake of a global pandemic and protests in support of Black Lives Matter.Family Matters reveals Laub’s willingness to confront ideas of privilege and unity, and to expose the fault lines and vulnerabilities of her relatives and herself.
