<p>Smart people make dumb decisions, and good people are capable of doing very bad things. These are the awkward truths which face Simon as he navigates his way through unfamiliar circumstances and fractured relationships, with a raft of characters who are as fundamentally flawed as he himself is. Compromises will be made and rationalizations abound, as this crazed transition from the mundane of the everyday to a substance fueled, surrealistic existence evolves. Who will survive; who will prosper; and who will be the casualties in the bizarre world he creates for himself, as he aspires to be one person, and ends up being somebody completely unrecognizable to both himself, and those around him. Only time will tell...</p>

Following an introductory chapter exploring why political argument deals in probability and plausibility across interdependent areas of social activity not certainty in individual areas, this book offers a case for independence under six main headings -- the democratic case, the economic case, the social case, the international case, the cultural case and the environmental case. Under each heading, the case is assessed against both the supportive evidence and the hostile evidence, from a variety of sources, concluding with a judgement of where the balance of the evidence points. The book concludes with a selection of populist objections to independence answered by summary rebuttals from the independence file.

Spanning four politically and socially tumultuous decades, Stephen Maxwell's writings explore the origins and development of the modern Scottish Nationalist movement. As an instrumental member of the SNP and a life-long socialist, Maxwell's work provides an engaging contemporary insight into the debate over Scottish independence, setting out a clear ideological and practical arguments for a socially just Scotland. The Case for Left Wing Nationalism - Maxwell's seminal 1981 pamphlet - considers the historical and cultural roots of Scottish national identity and stresses the importance of a realistic understanding of the past as the basis of a more prosperous, independent future. It concludes with Hugh MacDiarmid's prescription for a Scottish renaissance: Not Traditions - Precedents.
