Until the 1960s it was widely believed that people in pre-industrial Britain was born, lived their lives, and died within the confines of small, tight-knit communities which had only limited contacts with the outside world through migration. In the last 30 years or so, research by historians and historical geographers has shown that from the late Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution mobility was not only normal, but was a key element in social and economic change. This book surveys recent research on migration in Early-Modern Britain, considering the nature of population movements, the problems of reconstructing them from historical sources, and their contribution to contemporary life.

During the last twenty years there has been an explosion of new research into the development of Scotland from a small, backward country on the periphery of Europe to one poised to undergo industrialisation in step with England. This book provides an overview of key themes related to social change and economic development in early Modern Scotland aimed at demonstrating how this transformation occurred.

Climatic change, especially the inadvertent modification of climate by man, is emerging as the most important - and controversial - of global environmental problems. Within the last few years climatic events and their impacts, along with the possibility of major changes in the future, have attracted an increasing amount of scientific study, intensive media coverage and growing attention from politicians.Bringing together material from a wide range of sources, this book offers a balanced appreciation of the ways in which climatic changes can interact with society. Written specifically for students undertaking foundation courses in geography and environmental studies, it does not presuppose a background in science and extensive use is made of case studies drawn from around the world to put scientific principles into context. The result is a wide-ranging, stimulating and readable book that will be invaluable for those approaching the subject for the first time.

Ian Whyte, a Cambridge-graduate family doctor, was born in pre-apartheid South Africa. It is his firm belief that his writings may possibly save the life of an unsuspecting someone walking around with early, undiagnosed breast or prostate cancer! Filled with warm and humorous anecdotes, Ian shares his life stories with candor and humanism. This is his life, with its full "life of life" spectrum - Adulterous heartbreak to Zulu murder witnessed. Entering junior school at age six, Ian's inability to read and write was quickly obvious. Yet, with his dyslexic brain computer, Ian's "Windows 36" - he graduated from Cambridge University Medical School in 1955 - still unable to read! The author did not discover penicillin, but surmounting monumental Dyslexia was his "Everest!" He was 41 when he first learned to read. Ian Whyte was a family practitioner in Montreal Canada for twenty years, and in Phoenix, Arizona for fifteen years. He retired at age 62 with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. This book is a treasure. Read it! You will find yourself smiling, bursting with laughter, and even raising an eyebrow or two at some of Ian's saucy tales!

On the Trail of the Jacobites (Routledge Revivals)

Originally published in 1990 this book focusses on the main manoeuvres that took place in Scotland and England between 1688 and the Battle of Culloden in 1746. It provides a detailed chronological narrative of places, people and battles. Many of the sites associated with the Jacobites have not changed greatly in the last two centuries, and the book is extensively illustrated with photographs and specially drawn maps. The book examines objectively the often contradictory and imprecise accounts surviving from the time in order to discover the real events and significance of the Jacobite risings.
