The Early History of the Scottish Union Question - Unraveling the Scottish Independence Debate

George W. T. Omond

Sinopse

In 'The Early History of the Scottish Union Question', George W. T. Omond delves into the intricate political, social, and cultural dynamics that paved the way for the historic Union of Scotland and England in 1707. Employing a rigorous analytical lens and an accessible narrative style, Omond engages with primary sources and contemporary accounts to chart the complexities of Scottish identity and governance during a transformative period. The book offers an in-depth exploration of early debates surrounding union, examining both the opposition and support within Scotland, thereby positioning the Union question within a broader European context of nationhood and state formation. George W. T. Omond was a distinguished Scottish historian and advocate, deeply invested in the historical narratives of Scotland. His keen interest in Scottish nationalism and unionism, coupled with extensive research into archival materials, provided him with a unique vantage point. Omond's scholarly pursuits not only illuminate the historical landscape but also reveal his personal motivations stemming from a fervent sense of Scottish identity and politics in his own time. For scholars, historians, and anyone intrigued by the evolution of Scottish political thought, Omond's work serves as an indispensable resource. His exhaustive examination of the early union debates acts as a poignant reminder of the layered and often contentious relationships that define national identities. This book is a vital addition for anyone seeking to comprehend the early underpinnings of modern Scotland.

Parenting without Panic in an...

Rachel Gilson

Helps parents to teach young children what the Bible says about sexuality proactively and positively in a culture with contrasting ideas and values.   As Christian parents, we long to equip our kids as they venture out into a culture where LGBT is affirmed and celebrated. We want them to know what God says, and to love what God says. But, it’s hard to know where to start. That's where this book can help  Author Rachel Gilson helps you to teach your children proactively and positively about God’s beautiful design for human sexuality, gender, and relationships. This book will help you to provide your children with a Christian framework for sexual ethics, rather than letting the culture lay the foundations of their worldview in this area.   Rachel writes with understanding and clarity to help fellow parents engage with the wider LGBT narrative with faith rather than fear. Since she herself experiences same-sex attraction but has chosen to follow the Bible's teaching, she has put much thought into this topic. She reassures us that Jesus gives us everything we need to be faithful disciples in a fallen world, and that God works out his perfect purposes despite human sin. She also shares her wisdom on how to respond with grace and truth to people with different beliefs in this area.   This book is ideal for preschool and elementary-school children.

Pierre Bourdieu - Fieldwork in...

Nicholas Brown, Imre Szeman

“The wide range of subjects . . . provides a glimpse of the extent to which Bourdieu’s theories of culture have gained widespread currency in the humanities.” —David Eick, SubStance   The work of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most influential French intellectuals of the twentieth century, has had an enormous impact on research in fields as diverse as aesthetics, education, anthropology, and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu: Fieldwork in Culture is the first collection of essays to focus specifically on the contribution of Bourdieu’s thought to the study of cultural production. Though Bourdieu’s own work has illuminated diverse cultural phenomena, the essays in this volume extend to new cultural forms and to national situations outside France. Far from simply applying Bourdieu’s concepts and theoretical tools to these new contexts, the essays in this volume consider both the possibility and limits of Bourdieu’s sociology for the study of culture.  “Worth the attention of those who seek to become familiar with Bourdieu or to engage with a more well-rounded familiarity with the usefulness of his social theory.” —Christopher Lindsay Turner, MFS Modern Fiction Studies  “This sparkling and unusually coherent collection of essays emphasizes the American reception and adaptation of Bourdieu’s work. It shows how Bourdieu has been resisted and embraced and discusses how his terms and methods might be both used and modified by American academics. Theoretical reflections are productively complemented by empirical investigations of non-canonical and popular artistic expressions and by discussions of the position of women in Bourdieu’s thought.” —Marshall Brown, University of Washington

Skater Girl Asha - When you DARE...

Ulrike Reinhard, with the help...

Skater Girl Asha tells the TRUE story of how Asha, an Untouchable, broke courageously with the traditional conventions in her village and shaped her life ever since. She escaped her arranged marriage and found her passion and purpose through skateboarding. Today, Asha is a strong voice for all the girls in her village of Janwaar – and far beyond. 
“Before the skatepark started, I was very different. I didn’t know my own voice. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I couldn’t even make eye contact with anyone. I never made any decision on my own – only my family members would decide what is good and what is bad for me. This has changed completely when the skatepark came to my village. I’ve found my voice. It is a long and bumpy road I am on – but I take it as the challenges occur!” 
[Asha]
