    People are drawn to the harbours and boats of Scotland whether they have a seafaring background or not. Why do boats take on different shapes as you follow the complex shorelines of islands and mainland? And why do the sails they carry appear to be so many shapes and sizes? Then there are rowing craft or power-driven vessels which can also be considered 'classics', whether they were built for work or leisure.
    As he traces the iconic forms of a selection of the boats of Scotland, Ian Stephen outlines the purposes of craft, past and present, to help gain a true understanding of this vital part of our culture. Sea conditions likely to be met and coastal geography are other factors behind the designs of a wide variety of craft.
    Stories go with boats. The vessels are not seen as bare artefacts without their own soul but more like living things. 
    'A writer uniquely attuned to the water, and to the relationships each boat shares with the places it shaped, his stories restore past sea roads and river routes to life' - David Gange, author of The Frayed Atlantic Edge

    INSIDE THE CRIMINAL 'S MINDHave you ever questioned how a devoted mother could deliberately and coldly take the life of her own child in the bathtub—the very child for whom she had just prepared breakfast? What dark forces could have been at work within her mind at that moment? How did such thoughts take hold? Were they embedded deep within her psyche long before the act?What compels individuals to cross the most sacred moral boundaries? What hidden patterns emerge within their minds? What common traits do they share?For decades, scholars and scientists have sought to determine whether criminal behavior is the product of genetic inheritance or the consequence of environmental and social influences.In this compelling examination of the criminal psyche, Inside the Criminal’s Mind ventures beyond the headlines, delving into the neurological and psychological forces that drive some of history’s most notorious offenders—such as Andrea Yates, Jeffrey Epstein, and John Wayne Gacy. This work dissects the minds of those who defy humanity’s most fundamental moral codes. Through the advanced study of neuroscience and psychology, we expose the structural anomalies and chemical imbalances within the brain that may underlie their actions. Pioneering research on the role of genetics—initiated by Cesare Lombroso in the late 19th century—laid the foundation for understanding how inherited traits might predispose individuals to criminal behavior and how such tendencies might one day be identified, or even prevented.Inside the Criminal’s Mind offers clear, research-based insights into these unsettling questions. Within these pages, you may come to realize that the seemingly ordinary neighbor next door is far more complex—and perhaps far more dangerous—than you ever imagined.
