Sinossi

Scottish Highland Life explores the unique social structures and resilient spirit of the Scottish Highlanders. The book delves into the Highland clan system, revealing how it functioned not just as a military structure, but as the foundation for social interactions, economic activities, and legal proceedings. Readers will discover how systems of land tenure and usage in the Highlands differed from those in the Lowlands, impacting social status. The book argues that the Highland's challenging environment and historical circumstances shaped its unique social framework, fostering a strong communal identity. Beginning with geographical and historical context, the book explores the clan system, land tenure, and customary law. It also examines agricultural techniques, traditions, and oral culture. Drawing on historical documents, folklore, and anthropological studies, Scottish Highland Life provides a comprehensive account of Highland society. This book connects to anthropology, sociology, economic history, and legal history, offering a balanced and accessible look at a pivotal era in Highland history, primarily from the 16th to the 18th centuries.

    Monks and Bishops - Lismore...

    The Isle of Lismore has a long reputation as a holy island, beginning with the foundation of a monastery by St Moluag in the sixth century, when it became a major centre of Christianity. The Roman Catholic Bishopric of Argyll was founded on Lismore in 1200, and the medieval Cathedral Church of St Moluag was completed in 1400, the choir of which forms the basis of the present-day parish church.
    Robert Hay tells the story of Moluag's monastery, recently rediscovered by community archaeology, before exploring the rise and fall of the Bishopric of Argyll: the roles of the bishops; the years of prestige when leading families invested in elaborately carved graveslabs; the lean years when finances were strained; the struggles through decades of war, civil unrest, despoliation, famine and plague; and the final withdrawal of the bishop from Lismore to Dunoon in the mid fifteenth century. Even at the physical fringes of Scotland and Europe, the diocese was deeply affected by events on the national and international scene, with a major impact on this site of an unbroken tradition of Christian worship.

    Interviewing - The Basics

    This text outlines the relative merits of qualitative interviewing to new and emerging scholars in an accessible way. This is achieved not by providing an exhaustive 'how-to' guide but in introducing researchers to the interview technique and using examples of 'best practice' from across the social sciences. 
    To ensure the book is both accessible and inclusive, efforts have been made to include case studies from a diverse range of authors, including those from different ethnic and social backgrounds, from outside Western Europe/North America, and from nonacademic sources. This book will therefore introduce the listener to the key themes surrounding interview design, implementation, analysis, and presentation, using examples and case studies from research across the social sciences. 
    Crucially, the book will not provide exhaustive guidance on how to conduct the techniques. Instead, each chapter includes a range of interview design activities for listeners to try which might help them engage with the chapter topics, as well as a 'Summary' box which comprises a short annotated reading list of key texts relating to each of the chapter topics and a checklist of things to consider relating to the chapter topics.

    I Dream with Open Eyes - A Memoir

    Whatever the ideological slant of our information feeds, nowadays we all share a sense of binge-watching the apocalypse. Facing so much uncertainty, we need a language for thinking about the unknown not simply as a threat but also as a space of fertile possibility. George Prochnik has chosen to reflect on these urgent themes through the lens of a personal narrative: an account of his own family's decision to leave the United States. 
     
     
     
    I Dream with Open Eyes begins with an exploration of Prochnik's ancestral past: the pilgrimage of his mother's family, who were among the first English settlers in the New World. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a parallel migration unfolds as Prochnik, along with his wife and their son, makes the decision to uproot their lives in New York to move to England. 
     
     
     
    A deep critique of this current moment, Prochnik takes the words of nineteenth-century poet Heinrich Heine, "I dream with open eyes, and my eyes see," as an inspiration to ask how, as a society, we might use art and literature to refract and expand our vision of the future, while simultaneously generating a new focus on present realities.
