Sinossi

Scotland's greatest gift to the world has been itself, its culture, its creativity, the extraordinary ability of its people to integrate and celebrate what truly matters in global terms, friendship and decency. Add in our greatest export, Scotch whisky; our iconic clan and family tartans; our golf courses and musical traditions, and you have an identity that is instantly recognisable and internationally respected and loved. Wear a kilt in Manhattan or Paris and you make friends for life.
Art, culture and history circulate the lives of Richard Demarco and Roddy Martine. This compelling sequel to Demarco's Edinburgh battles for the soul of Scotland, tracing its roots from ancient pilgrimage routes to modern-day artistic endeavours.
Richard Demarco's personal odyssey, from his encounter with Terry Newman and Southampton College of Art to his profound connections with the Polish art world, forms the cornerstone of this narrative. As he reflects on the essence of the Edinburgh Festival, he unveils a vision where Scotland's cultural legacy transcends geographical boundaries, embracing the world.
Martine's meticulously crafted essays encapsulate Scotland's artistic landscape. through insightful reflections on Demarco's journey, you are invited to ponder profound questions about identity, heritage and the transformative power of art.
A testament to the enduring spirit of creativity and the timeless quest  for meaning that defines Scotland's cultural heritage, this book serves as a poignant reminder of the country's evolution into a global beacon of culture and enlightenment.

    This book traces the dramatic stories of five of the most influential empires in medieval and late antiquity, exploring how they rose to greatness, maintained control, and ultimately declined or transformed. 
    Begin with The Fall of Rome, the collapse that set the stage for the medieval world. Learn how internal strife, economic decay, and barbarian invasions led to the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations, creating a power vacuum that reshaped Europe. 
    Discover The Byzantine Empire, the eastern continuation of Rome, which blended Roman governance, Orthodox Christianity, and Greek culture to become a resilient power for over a thousand years. From Justinian’s legal reforms to the fall of Constantinople, its story is one of cultural brilliance and gradual decline. 
    Explore the fragmented yet enduring structure of The Holy Roman Empire, a complex patchwork of territories that struggled to balance local autonomy with imperial ambition. This section reveals the ongoing conflicts between emperors and popes, as well as the empire's role in shaping central Europe. 
    Witness the unstoppable rise of The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, it connected East and West through conquest, terror, and unexpected cultural exchange. 
    Finally, delve into The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, a story of transformation from a frontier beylik into a formidable Islamic empire that would eventually absorb Byzantine lands and challenge Europe for centuries. 
    Together, these five empires showcase the complexity, ambition, and fragility of medieval powers—and how their legacies continue to influence the world today.

    "School and Society" is a book written by John Dewey, a philosopher and educator, in 1899. In this book, Dewey advocates for a more progressive and democratic approach to education that emphasizes the importance of practical learning and social experience. 
    Dewey argues that traditional education, which focuses on rote memorization and standardized testing, fails to prepare students for real-life situations and inhibits their ability to think critically and creatively. Instead, he suggests that education should be based on the interests and experiences of the students, and should involve hands-on activities and problem-solving exercises. 
    Furthermore, Dewey believes that education should not be isolated from society, but should be integrated into the community and reflect the values and needs of the society. He asserts that education should help students develop social consciousness and promote democracy by encouraging cooperation, tolerance, and social responsibility. 
    Overall, "School and Society" is a seminal work in the history of education, as it paved the way for the development of progressive education, which continues to influence educational theory and practice to this day

    On Life After Death

    C. G. Jung, (Carl Gustav Jung) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion archetypes, as well as the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death. 
    The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development. 
    Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types. 
    Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the psychologization of religion, spirituality, and the New Age movement has been immense.
