Summary

"Truth In History" challenges readers to critically examine established narratives by comparing contemporary interpretations with original historical records. The book delves into how interpretations of the past evolve, influenced by present-day social, political, and cultural contexts, which directly impacts our understanding of international relations and political science. One intriguing aspect is how historical interpretations shape our present actions and future aspirations, highlighting the importance of critical thinking and informed citizenship.

 
The book navigates key historical episodes such as the Renaissance, Colonialism, and the Cold War, providing a framework for critically analyzing any historical event. By juxtaposing firsthand accounts with modern analyses, it reveals subtle distortions in our collective memory, emphasizing the importance of revisiting primary sources. For example, the book explores colonialism through the voices of both the colonizers and the colonized, contrasting economic and social incentives with today's moral judgments.

 
"Truth In History" begins by introducing historical analysis and source criticism, progressing through these pivotal periods to offer a nuanced understanding of historical truth.

The Prince

Niccolò Machiavelli, translator...

Machiavelli was writing specifically to Lorenzo De'Medici as an instruction manual for "new princes." His perspective on the aims and glory of princes is a controversial but powerful insight into the cold calculations of men of his station in his time.

Unfinished Business - The...

Henry McLeish, James Mitchell

We want to move beyond politics in which each party seeks to outmanoeuvre others and score a decisive victory. This leads to political stalemate. We want to reflect on the successes and failures of devolution and offer a series of proposals for reform that could be embraced by a broad swathe of opinion.
What were the hopes and aspirations of devolution?
To what extent has devolution been successful?
What are the challenges and opportunities ahead?
How can we meet the challenges and best take advantage of opportunities?
Where is Scotland heading on its unfinished journey?
How will changes in the rest of the UK impact on this journey?
In  1999, legislation was passed to create the Scottish Parliament and the Consultative Steering Group (CSG) issued its report on the Scottish Parliament's guiding principles. Four key principles were set out in the CSG report reflecting the hopes and aspirations of campaigners for a Scottish Parliament: sharing power between the people, legislators and government; greater accountability from government to Parliament to the people; facilitating accessibility, openness and responsiveness; and promoting equality. These principles remain as relevant today as they were at the Parliament's establishment though much has changed in the intervening quarter century.
In this book, former First Minister Henry McLeish, Minister responsible for devolution and chair of the CSG, and Professor James Mitchell of Edinburgh University consider the journey Scotland has been on – the challenges, obstacles and opportunities in seeking to achieve these hopes and expectations.

The Origin of the Universe

Jan Aleksander Piasecki

A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.   Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and all living things in it. A special section discusses the soul, its design and destiny.   Attributing everything in the universe to the impact and expansion of the heat entity and the resistance and pressure of the cold entity, Piasecki moves through time and space to explain the creation of the sun, the solar system, atmosphere, water, and living forms. He draws a connection from outside forces to that which animates every “self-moving form” from within: the soul, imbued with the knowledge of its own being.   From molecules to the moon, The Origin of the Universe takes readers on a journey through the mysteries of life, those with a finite existence and those that may endure forever . . .
