Greenend was rough - the roughest scheme in Coatbridge. John and me thought it couldn't get any rougher. We were wrong. The closing down of the steelworks meant the end of being in work - but John and his pal don't intend it to be the end of keeping afloat. Keep hens - that's the answer. Or become window cleaners. But it's harder than you'd think to be the only honest guys in Greenend.

Now a British citizen, she has made her commitment to Asylum Seekers and other refugees, working with the Maryhill Integration Network in Glasgow.

There has never been so much displacement in the world as at the present time. Beside the history of the Kosovar people she describes the plight of Asylum Seekers in the here and now.

Jamie Whittle's first book describes his foot journey to the source of the Findhorn, one of the world's great salmon rivers, and his canoe journey back down. His observations and thoughts along the way are nourished by his many previous journeys around the world, to Alaska, Ladakh, Central Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific Islands. His concerns about the state of the world but optimism for the future - provided we address our relationship with the natural world soon. His first book has already been recognised as a masterwork by such distinguished authors as Sir John Lister-Kaye and Cameron McNeish.

The Shetland Islands sit where the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea meet, closer to the Arctic Circle than to London. Over the centuries they have been a vital staging post for Vikings, Hanseatic traders and merchant sailors from faraway lands. Yet somehow, the same islands remain `off the map' of British consciousness. Ron McMillan spent weeks on the unbeaten Shetland tourist path, braving the weathers to explore scenic landmarks, archaeological treasure troves and remote islands so under populated that for centuries they have lived with the threat of abandonment. A travel writer for more than twenty years, McMillan cast an inquisitive and witty eye over present-day Shetland to interweave the Islands' history, archaeology and 400-million-year-old geology with observations of a remarkably hospitable society that remains intricately connected to the outside world. His warm and generous narrative is the first original Shetland travelogue since 1869. Set amidst fascinating locations and soaked in history, filled with stories skillfully told, this is a book for lovers of lyrical travel writing delivered with informed authority and irresistible humor.
