In this book John Burke brilliantly interweaves history and topography.Scotland is divided chapter by chapter into regions so that the reader wherever he is can look around him at the very stage on which the drama on the page was enacted.Yet the book as a whole presents a complete and compelling readable narrative.It encourages the visitor - even the armchair traveller in spirit wandering into a far fascinating land - to explore beyond the obvious sights and understand how the present scene relates to past events and people: past yet still vividly alive.No other book whether guidebook or formal history could convey the reader quite so directly to Scotland's heart.

Pages very clean no notes no underlining or highlighting. Pages 137-144 have a very small mark on the upper edge like it was opened there by putting a fingernail into the pages. Elinor Burkett took a trip to a hostile world when she began her year long odysey with an assignment as a Fulbright Professor teaching journalism in Kyrgystan which is described as a place of "dilapidated apartments bizarre food and demoralized citizens clinging to the safety of Brother Russia". She then journeyed to Afghanistan and Iraq where she watched the build-up to the American invasion; then on to Iran Mongolia Uzbekistan China and Vietnam. Her adventures and way of writing about them are comic and discomfiting--and she admits how her preconceptions about people and places invariably differed from the reality she faced. 324 pages. 8 x 5.25 inches.
