  The idea of home can be associated with the notion of an ancestral homeland, a place where something greather than any one individual began. It is difficult to underestimate just how powerful an experience visiting an ancestral homeland can be. There are several guides to tracing your Scottish ancestry and many serious historical studies of emigration. Rooted in Scotland takes a different perspective from most ancestry guides. Its starting point is that your sense of connection with Scotland has meaning and legitimacy, and that your journey of discovery helps you understand who you really are. The best places to start, tips on exploring ancestry and a guide to the best websites. Includes one man's emigration diary - a one-hundred-year-old first-hand account of what your own ancestors have gone through. Written by an ancestral research expert. Wherever you are in the world, your Scottish ancestry is worth exploring and celebrating. This book will help you do both. This book is a plea for restoring the role of emotion and imagination into all out dusty enquiries, and its warmth is inspiring. YOUR FAMILY TREE Will provide anyone with Scots ancestry with a wonderful insight into the significance of their heritage whilst inviting them to come and visit their homeland NATALIE MOFFAT, Ancestral Marketing Manager, Visit Scotland... a fresh and inspiring perspective on what it means to have Scottish ancestry, as well as providing creative ideas for bringing your own family history to life.

  At an age when most are aiming for retirement, Bob Higgins moved to Uganda with his wife Carol. Over the course of fourteen years, they trained church leaders with the International School of Ministry video curriculum, provided clean water to rural communities, and ran a mobile clinic while establishing a home for children orphaned by rebel warfare in Northern Uganda. Initially resistant to the idea of taking on the continual care of so many orphans, their Otino Waa Children's Village soon became home to hundreds of children. Bob's retelling of the origins of PATH Ministries shows that God can do extraordinary things through faithful service in difficult places.

  Canaletto and Guardi - Views of...

  A gorgeous celebration of the beauty of Venice as conveyed in the paintings of Canaletto and his followers.
  Among the renowned Old Master paintings at the Wallace Collection in London is an important group of 27 eighteenth-century views of Venice, known as vedute, by Canaletto and his followers, including Francesco Guardi. They hang together in a dedicated gallery known as the Canaletto Room, but until recently the majority had not been cleaned since the nineteenth century and their original beauty was obscured by multiple layers of discoloured varnish.
  The paintings have now been restored and rephotographed, following a multi-year conservation and research project that has also led to a reappraisal of them. This book presents these pictures in their renewed splendour. It features essays and commentaries by Charles Beddington, the global expert on vedute, and by Wallace Collection curator Lelia Packer. Together they provide fresh insights into the artists' creative processes, the dating of pictures and their authorship.

  Why Not Better and Cheaper? -...

  An engaging account of innovation in healthcare and why the results fall short for patients and society. 
   
   
   
  The evolution of the cell phones we carry in our pockets demonstrates that quality can increase while prices fall. Why doesn't healthcare also get better and cheaper? 
   
   
   
  In Why Not Better and Cheaper?, James B. Rebitzer and Robert S. Rebitzer offer an answer to this question. Bringing together research on incentives, social norms, and market competition, they argue that the healthcare system generates the wrong kinds of innovation. It is too easy to profit from low-value innovations and too hard to profit from innovations that reduce the costs of care. The result is a healthcare system that is profusely innovative yet remarkably ineffective in discovering ways to deliver increased value at lower cost. 
   
   
   
  Why Not Better and Cheaper? sheds new light on the trajectory of innovation in healthcare, and how to point innovation in a better direction.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  What if the people meant to nurture your soul were the very ones who kept wounding it? 
  In Rising Over the Waves: Surviving Among Emotionally Immature Parents, discover the raw, unfiltered truth of what it's like to grow up in a household where emotional chaos, unpredictability, and unmet needs are masked by denial, silence, or well-meaning ignorance. This is not just a book — it’s a lifeline for those who have long felt invisible, unheard, or emotionally orphaned. 
  With deep compassion and piercing insight, this transformative guide unpacks the hidden legacy of emotionally immature parenting — the subtle manipulations, the dismissive tones, the burdens placed on shoulders too young to carry them — and shows you how to reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your life. 
  Whether you’re still in the storm or long escaped from its eye, this book offers the clarity you’ve craved and the strength you deserve. Through powerful stories, psychological wisdom, and healing strategies, Rising Over the Waves helps you stop treading water and finally rise, not despite your past, but powerfully because of it. 
  You are not too sensitive. You are not overreacting. You are rising.
