The Dark Stuff

From the bestselling author of The Ghost Cat comes an epic new adventure for cat lovers 'Uplifting, charming, funny... Written with such a light and witty touch, it is not only a unique read, it is life-affirming.' - Sue Lawrence Archie is a canny street cat who has no faith in humans. A cat can only trust himself, after all. But when he takes shelter from the cold near an airfield, he finds himself aboard a flight that will set him on an epic sea voyage - one that will take him farther than he's ever been and challenge everything he thinks he knows about 'home'. Determined to return to the shores of Blighty, Archie must rely on the generosity - and vessels - of humans on his way. With his unique polydactyl paws, each with an extra toe, Archie discovers he is not only a useful companion aboard fishing boats and luxury yachts, but also something of a lucky talisman. From the sun-drenched harbours of the Mediterranean to the bustling decks of ocean racers and narrowboats of Edinburgh's Union Canal, Archie becomes a legend among sailors as he tries to make his way back home. But is home a place, or a person? Embark on this odyssey with Archie the stray and get swept away on this heroic, feel-good tale of unlikely friendship on the high seas.

Lochs and Legends

A course on the Scottish legal system is a compulsory part of undergraduate degrees in Scots Law. The Scottish Legal System sets out to present the 'legal system and law of Scotland as a unique and constantly changing human enterprise' and places the Scottish legal system in its broader political and social contexts. This is achieved by covering not only the central aspects of the system, such as the courts and the legal profession, but also the border areas with constitutional law and jurisprudence. This well-established text provides an up-to-date treatment of all significant developments affecting the Scottish legal system. The Seventh Edition covers: - Revisions relating to EU law to account for Brexit and the reformed relationship between the Scottish legal system and the EU - Implications of the UK Government's first use of the Scotland Act, s 35 order to block legislation of the Scottish Parliament - The ongoing debate on the dual role of the Lord Advocate - Recent innovations of the Scottish and UK Parliaments and Governments, reflecting on their impact on Scots Law - Key reforms in the civil and criminal legal systems, including the abolition of the 'not proven' verdict and increased emphasis on alternative dispute resolution - Updates on digital and online legal resources This text is an invaluable introduction for students and anyone with an interest in the Scottish legal system. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scots Law Student online service.

Insight Guides Scotland: Travel Guide with eBook

With vibes of Penny Dreadful, The Knick, and ANATOMY: A Love Story, this deliciously macabre gothic debut braids historical fiction, dark academia, horror, and even true crime into a harrowing tale of murder, greed, queer desire and the grisly origins of modern medicine, as – as a young medical student is lured into the illicit underworld of body snatching. Now in trade paperback with *Deluxe Stenciled Edges* and interior cover design for readers of Lydia Kang, ML Rio, Sarah Perry, and C.E. McGill. Edinburgh, Scotland, 1828. James Willoughby has abandoned his posh, sheltered life at Oxford to pursue a lifelong dream of studying surgery in Edinburgh. The university offers everything James desires—except the chance to work on a human cadaver. For that, he must join one of the private schools in Surgeon’s Square, at a cost he cannot afford. In desperation, he strikes a deal with Aneurin “Nye” MacKinnon, a dashing young dissectionist with an artist’s eye for anatomy and a reckless passion for knowledge. But James soon realizes he’s made a devil’s bargain . . . Nye is a body snatcher. And James has unwittingly become his accomplice, rapidly descending into the underground ranks of the Resurrectionists—the body snatchers infamous for stealing fresh corpses from churchyards to be used as anatomical specimens. Before long, James is caught up in a life-or-death scheme as rival snatchers compete in a morbid race for power. James and Nye soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a pair of opportunists known as Burke and Hare. These unsavory characters will do anything to beat the competition for bodies. Even if it’s cold-blooded murder . . . Exquisitely macabre and delightfully entertaining, The Resurrectionist combines fact and fiction in a tale of the risks and rewards of scientific pursuit, the passions of its boldest pioneers, and the anatomy of human desire.

The Resurrectionist: Deluxe Stenciled Edges

'Brave, intense, unexpected, lyrical and troubling' Rory Stewart An extraordinary portrait of the Scottish Highlands: this is an epic and urgent story of destruction and renewal, told through unforgettable encounters with its people. This is the story of a Scottish glen and its inhabitants, and of how I came to call it my glen. From the powerful rivers that bring life and prosperity, to the Pictish cairns, undisturbed for centuries and the meadows of bluebells, from which deer emerge, god-like, in a flash, Kapka Kassabova reveals a world that has been abused, but remains achingly beautiful and alive. In the Highlands, centuries-old connections between the land, nature and people have been, and continue to be, shaken by the forces of colonialism, industry, depopulation and private property speculation. Borrowed Land tells the stories of those who are working against this disconnect: the last true Highlanders, fighting to preserve their home. 'A poetic and haunting anatomy of what happens when a world is addicted to extraction' James Crawford 'Stark and moving. A hymn, a howl and a call to action all at once' Ben Rawlence 'A brilliant, daring and urgent account' Sally Huband

Borrowed Land

Routledge Focus on Sport, Culture and Society

This book examines the relationship between sport, the media, and national identities in Great Britain. It draws upon case studies of different sporting events and stories, looking at the ways in which the media (re)present different narratives of the nation(s).It focuses on the intersections between different parts of Great Britain, such as matches between two British nations within international football competitions. It also explores contested claims for national sporting glory through the achievements of individual athletes and teams. From Andy Murray's success in tennis, to the portrayal of Team GB athletes born outside of the United Kingdom, the book shines new light on ongoing debates about the perceived fragility of the United Kingdom and the place of Great Britain and its constituent parts within a post-Brexit Europe. In looking at the prestigious Sports Personality of the Year award, it considers how and where discourses of the nation intersect and what this can tell us about the significance of social issues such as gender and racial equality in sport and in wider society.This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport media, the politics of sport, cultural identities, nationalism, or media studies.

Mhairi Brennan writes successfully from a dual perspective: as both a TV professional and as an accomplished research academic. Her study of the coverage of the Scottish independence referendum is exemplary, providing rare insights into how broadcasting functions in practice.
John Ellis, Emeritus Professor, Royal Holloway, University of London
"This important and timely book highlights the role of the archive (of a large public service broadcaster) as a major part of a nation’s cultural memory. The author—who has first-hand experience of researching and producing in broadcast archives—writes in an accessible and readable manner and as a result, the work will appeal to the informed reader with interests in media and politics as well as to students and academic researchers in the field.”

Using the contents of BBC Scotland’s television archive pertaining to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign, this book argues that television archive material is a powerful memory tool which shapes how we connect with the past. The referendum was a seismic moment for Scotland and its repercussions are still being felt today. BBC Scotland provided the lion’s share of television&nbsp;coverage of the referendum and even became part of the story of the campaign. This book offers a unique insight into the work of the archivists and programme-makers&nbsp;involved with preserving and reusing footage of the campaign held in the broadcaster’s archive. Combining textual analysis with interviews with programme-makers and archivists, this book also explores the&nbsp;labour conditions and institutional policy around access to BBC Scotland’s television archive which play a crucial role in how material is chosen and used, thus shaping the stories that BBC Scotland tells about the referendum.
Mhairi Brennan&nbsp;is a Research Associate at Aston University, UK. Her specialism is in television, television archives, and memory. Brennan previously worked for several years as a television archive producer. This book is based on her experience of working&nbsp;as an archive producer in BBC Scotland’s Referendum Unit&nbsp;during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign.

BBC Scotland’s Television Archive and the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum

Archiving the Referendum

First ever standalone edition of one of J.R.R. Tolkien's most important poetic dramas, that explores timely themes such as the nature of heroism and chivalry during war, and which features unpublished and never-before-seen texts and drafts.In 991 AD, vikings attacked an Anglo-Saxon defence-force led by their duke, Beorhtnoth, resulting in brutal fighting along the banks of the river Blackwater, near Maldon in Essex. The attack is widely considered one of the defining conflicts of tenth-century England, due to it being immortalised in the poem, The Battle of Maldon.Written shortly after the battle, the poem now survives only as a 325-line fragment, but its value to today is incalculable, not just as an heroic tale but in vividly expressing the lost language of our ancestors and celebrating ideals of loyalty and friendship.J.R.R. Tolkien considered The Battle of Maldon 'the last surviving fragment of ancient English heroic minstrelsy'. It would inspire him to compose, during the 1930s, his own dramatic verse-dialogue, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son, which imagines the aftermath of the great battle when two of Beorhtnoth's retainers come to retrieve their duke's body.Leading Tolkien scholar, Peter Grybauskas, presents for the very first time J.R.R. Tolkien's own prose translation of The Battle of Maldon together with the definitive treatment of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth and its accompanying essays; also included and never before published is Tolkien's bravura lecture, 'The Tradition of Versification in Old English', a wide-ranging essay on the nature of poetic tradition. Illuminated with insightful notes and commentary, he has produced a definitive critical edition of these works, and argues compellingly that, Beowulf excepted, The Battle of Maldon may well have been 'the Old English poem that most influenced Tolkien's fiction', most dramatically within the pages of The Lord of the Rings.

Recruiting new performers including bareback horse-rider Rosie and acrobat Carmen, the four women take charge of their own show, their own finances and their own destinies.
