Based upon the true story of a death in custody, Lament for Sheku Bayoh asks the urgent question, is Scotland really a safe place?

Anthem Studies in Law Reform

This short book examines the taxonomy of 'voluntary obligations' presented by Viscount Stair in his seminal Institutions of the Law of Scotland, arguing that - notwithstanding ongoing proposals to significantly reform 'Scots contract law' -&nbsp; Stair's account of 'will' and 'engagement' offers the better route forward for legal development in this area.

The story of Scottish knitting: the first critical history and analysis of a local craft turned international icon.

From Fair Isle patterning to Pringle jumpers, Scottish knitwear is internationally renowned and instantly recognisable. This open access study unpicks the distinctive place of knitting in the Scottish landscape, economy, and culture from the 19th century to today.

Recent reappraisals of the industrial revolution and traditional craft economies, and the recent revival of hobby knitting during the Covid-19 pandemic, have raised new questions about the roles of social communities, sustainability and women's domestic work in the textile industries. Tracing its story from raw material to final product, from home-spun clothes and crafts to luxury markets and industrial-scale production, Knitting in Scotland investigates the Scottish knitting trade's remarkable survival across two centuries of economic and cultural modernisation.

Knitting in Scotland

The Wickedest

The Ending Writes Itself

Not since Antonia Fraser's major biography (1975) has there been a life of Cromwell so sympathetic to its subject and based on so many years of scholarship and research. As General Editor for Oxford University Press of the five-volume edition of all the recorded words (writings and recorded speech acts) of Oliver Cromwell, Professor Morrill is perfectly equipped to write this biography. He argues that Cromwell has been seriously misinterpreted by historians, not least by left-wing thinkers such as Tony Benn, who claim Cromwell as their own and thus misunderstand the nature of Cromwell's political thought. This was a product of his religious ideas, and, argues the author, in this Cromwell was entirely sincere. After the Siege of Drogheda he murdered 3,000 people and Catholic clergy and the religious were killed on sight. He cast a long shadow over Irish history which appears to many to verge on genocide, but with this and the signing of the act of execution of Charles I, Cromwell never doubted that he was doing God's will. Morrill's book sheds exciting new light on Cromwell, both political and religious, and is based on the latest scholarship of the highest quality. Morrill argues against contemporary critics and claims that Cromwell was a man of fundamental sincerity and devotion to high Puritan principles.

Social Work Law in Scotland provides a practical guide to the legal framework within which social work operates. The book provides coverage of key areas of law in social work including those relating to children, families and adult services. The Fifth Edition of this highly regarded text covers important recent developments including: - Widespread actual and proposed changes brought about by the Children (Scotland) Act 2020 principally to the Children's Hearing system - Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Act 2019, which changes the age of criminal responsibility from age eight to twelve - Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019, which amends rules on disclosure of a previous criminal record and tightens the requirements for checking applicants for posts where the employee is working with children and other vulnerable service users - Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018, which is designed to improve the response of the justice system to domestic abuse and to recognise the different forms domestic abuse may take in addition to physical violence, eg coercive control and psychological abuse Students studying for a degree in social work, as well as those in the profession, will benefit from this up to date guide. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scottish General Practice and Scottish Law online services.

Social Work Law in Scotland

'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.'Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid. Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief. A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?
