Beschreibung

Edinburgh's spectral tales are more than mere folklore; they are echoes of a tangible past, deeply intertwined with the city's history and cultural identity. Edinburgh Ghosts delves into these narratives, revealing how historical traumas, social anxieties, and enduring cultural traditions have shaped the haunted landscape of Scotland's capital. From plague outbreaks to witch trials, Edinburgh's past has left an indelible mark, influencing the ghost stories that persist today. These tales aren't just fanciful; they serve as a collective memory, preserving and transmitting the city's complex past. The book explores key haunted locations like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile, providing historical context for associated legends. It examines the literary influence of figures like Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Walter Scott, who amplified Edinburgh's eerie atmosphere in popular perception. Progressing through its chapters, the book illuminates the city's spectral reputation, explores the literary influences that shaped its ghostly image, and examines the modern context of Edinburgh’s ghost stories, including their role in tourism and contemporary media.

    While there are many books upon the subject of sea life, there are few that can compare with Two Years Before the Mast. It is the story of a sailor's life from the forecastle, not a captain, nor a passenger, but a regular hand. The book was a great favorite with the jack tar of Dana's day, and two thousand copies are said to have been sold to Liverpool sailors in a single day. Even those who haven't the faintest idea what reefing topsail is, or which is starboard and which larboard, will find it an engaging story of an era long past told in simple narrative style.

    By enabling systems to exhibit their own development, permaculture follows a philosophy of working with nature rather than against it, of long-term observation rather than hasty action, of considering systems in all of their roles rather than focusing on a single output.    To put it another way, the vast majority of the species (and biomass) in a farmed environment are meant for human consumption or the use of animals. A small portion of the entire primordial or natural species assemblage is accessible to us, but we are not the exclusive beneficiaries of that portion. The plants we grow in our own gardens, on the other hand, are all chosen for their ability to directly benefit us as gardeners. Designing a home revolves around the requirements of its inhabitants, making it a human-centered endeavor (anthropocentric).    In order to preserve wilderness, we need both a human-centered morality and a focus on the natural world. As long as we don't control our monetary cravings, we won't be able to do any good for the natural world. Achieving this goal will enable us to leave most of the agricultural landscape behind, allowing natural systems to thrive.    All of this and much more are discussed in this book with exhaustive research and systematic steps for your benefit and thought-provoking and persuasive information.

    The sequel nobody wants. After a decade of the Tories, could it get any worse? Spoiler – it does. 
     
    Towards the end of 2021, Britain had been frogmarched into an escalating series of surreal calamities. Brexit was a disaster, the NHS was in crisis, the government was bathed head-to-toe in impropriety, senior Tories were still acting as though the public purse was their personal feed-trough, and the air crackled with anger about PartyGate. All of which led to an inglorious start to 2022: the year the UK saw two monarchs, three prime ministers and four chancellors. 
     
    From Boris Johnson, who crashed our international reputation and handed billions to his mates so they could ineptly fight a pandemic while he stayed at home, shagging and acting as a super-spreader; to Liz Truss, a drive-by prime minister who managed to kill off the queen and crash the economy in a single week. And now we’re led by Rishi Sunak, who doesn’t know how to use a credit card, drives a pretend car, and grinningly promises even more poverty. 
     
    Four Chancellors and a Funeral delivers more of Russell Jones’s signature scathing wit, combining a detailed historical record of 2021 and 2022, with acerbic commentary, all of it leavened by jokes at the seemingly endless maelstrom of failures, nincompoops and hypocrisies.
