Are novelists from Scotland, even internationally influential ones like Walter Scott or Muriel Spark, merely contributors to a wider English literature, or is there a separate and specific tradition of the Scottish novel that gives meaning and significance to their work? This INTERNATIONAL COMPANION assesses the work of Scottish novelists – writing in English, Scots and Gaelic – as contributions to national self-understanding and to a distinctive evolution of the most influential genre of the modern world. Tracing the development of the Scottish novel from the eighteenth century to the present day, and ranging from self-conscious experimentation to popular, mass-market fiction, it evaluates responses by critics, and critical responses by the novelists themselves, to reveal a sustained engagement with national identity and literary form.

Later he fought at Quatre Bras and was wounded at Waterloo. He was retired on full pension in 1821.

A remarkable account of Kurt Gödel, weaving together creative genius, mental illness, political corruption, and idealism in the face of the turmoil of war and upheaval. At age 24, a brilliant Austrian-born mathematician published a mathematical result that shook the world. Nearly a hundred years after Kurt Gödel''s famous 1931 paper "On Formally Undecidable Propositions" appeared, his proof that every mathematical system must contain propositions that are true - yet never provable within that system - continues to pose profound questions for mathematics, philosophy, computer science, and artificial intelligence. His close friend Albert Einstein, with whom he would walk home every day from Princeton''s famous Institute for Advanced Study, called him "the greatest logician since Aristotle." He was also a man who felt profoundly out of place in his time, rejecting the entire current of 20th century philosophical thought in his belief that mathematical truths existed independent of the human mind, and beset by personal demons of anxiety and paranoid delusions that would ultimately lead to his tragic end from self-starvation.Drawing on previously unpublished letters, diaries, and medical records, Journey to the Edge of Reason offers the most complete portrait yet of the life of one of the 20th century''s ...

One of the greatest nineteenth-century scientist-explorers, Alexander von Humboldt traversed the tropical Spanish Americas between 1799 and 1804. By the time of his death in 1859, he had won international fame for his scientific discoveries, his observations of Native American peoples and his detailed descriptions of the flora and fauna of the ''new continent''.
