  Indyref: the Scottish Referendum of 2014 in which 84.6% of the Scottish public voted, making it one of the largest voter turnouts in British political history.
  
  This book is an inside account of the independence referendum campaign. It captures the highs and lows and twists and turns from a perspective close to the decision-making frontline, but far enough removed to offer a dispassionate and personal perspective of the unfolding events. Wishart takes the reader back to the energy, excitement and drama of the biggest political decision the Scottish people have ever been asked to participate in – a truly immersive experience, with people previously uninterested in political campaigning engaged in trying to win for their respective camp. 
  
  The referendum changed everything in Scottish political life and its influence is felt in every one of our political institutions, and remains indelibly embedded in our political culture.
  
  There is a very real sense that the many promises made around more powers for Scotland, made during the independence referendum 
  by the uk Government, have not been realised.
  
  The independence referendum itself may be long concluded, but its impacts, effects and legacy remain very much live. There can be no doubt that many of the constitutional debates that continue to take place today have their origins in the absorbing and beguiling campaign for independence.

  Celebrated leadership expert and political scientist Gautam Mukunda provides a comprehensive, objective, and non-partisan method for answering the most important question in the world: is someone up to the job of president of the United States? 
   
   
    
  In Picking Presidents, Gautam Mukunda sets his sights on presidential candidates, proposing a tested method to assess whether they will succeed or fail if they win the White House. Combining political science, psychology, organizational behavior, and economics, Picking Presidents will enable every American to cast an informed vote. 
   
   
    
  In his 2012 book Indispensable, which all but predicted the Trump presidency, Mukunda explained how both the very best and very worst leaders are "unfiltered"—outsiders who take power without the understanding or support of traditional elites. Picking Presidents provides deep analysis of filtered and unfiltered presidents alike, from failed haberdasher and skillful president Harry Truman, to the exceptionally well-qualified—and ultimately reviled—James Buchanan; from Andrew Johnson, who set civil rights back by a century, to Theodore Roosevelt, who evaded party opposition to transform American society. Picking Presidents lays out a clear framework that anyone can use to judge a candidate and answer the all-important question: are they up to the job?

  North Georgia has more than forty lakes, and not one is natural. The state's controversial decision to dam the region's rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever. 
   
   
   
  Lost communities, forgotten crossroads, dissolving racetracks, and even entire towns disappeared. The creation of Lake Lanier displaced more than seven hundred families. During the construction of Lake Chatuge, busloads of schoolboys were brought in to help disinter graves for the community's cemetery relocation. Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Lisa Russell dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia's lakes.
