The Gunns; History, Myths and Genealogy
Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the myths currently masquerading as Gunn 'history'. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern, mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor. There was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief'. The first Gunn known to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many descendants from that line exist all around the world. Major detail on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history.

The Keeper
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE **The gripping crime thriller perfect for fans of Chris Carter and M. J. Arlidge** A man is found buried in a secluded wood on the outskirts of London. Naked, beaten and bruised; forensics show that he hasn't eaten in the 24 hours before his murder. It looks like a targeted attack. But soon more bodies are unearthed in the same state. It seems that a unique kind of serial killer is at work. One that is playing a twisted game. And so far the killer is the one winning . . .
Cold Christmas
In the small village of Cold Christmas there's a church that faces the wrong way . . . What has it to do with the three dead men found in a London flat? DCI Antonia Hawkins has a killer to catch. Only she can't predict what is waiting for her at the end of the chase. Nobody remembers the young men entering the abandoned London flat a few weeks ago. Nobody cares if they left. Until the unbearable smell of decay. DCI Antonia Hawkins is called in to view the dead men; three, lying neat in a row. There's no damage to the bodies, no obvious cause of death. Is this a suicide pact? Or is that just how it's meant to look? If there is a link between the three very different men then Hawkins needs to find it, and fast. Because unless she does, more are going to die. And they might not all be strangers.

Engineering, Ethics, and the Environment
This text, first published in 1998, examines the ethical responsibilities of engineers for the environment - of interest to all engineers.
Donald Gunn J. P. 1832 - 1901
Donald Gunn emigrated to Victoria, Australia, from Caithness, Scotland, in 1854. He settled near Ballarat and was a Councillor of Ballaratshire from 1865-1867 and then again from 1870 to 1876. This included time as President. He was also on the Council of the Ballarat and District Agricultural and Pastoral Society for at least the years 1860 to 1899, again including time as President. He, as well, participated in many other community activities including being the Foundation Secretary of the Buninyong Highland Society from 1857 to 1859. He also worked as a Justice of the Peace. Donald married and had ten children - the best known of these is the Honourable John Alexander Gunn whose work creating an anthrax vaccine suitable for Australian conditions ought to be better known. Donald's family descended from Coroner Gunn of Caithness, the first Gunn known to history. In fact, Donald's descendants includes the most senior known Gunn to have always held the surname Gunn.
Environmental Ethics For Engineers
We have used this book, manuscript form, as supplemental reading in our environmental engineering classes at Duke University. The discussion of ethics is usually reserved for the final few days of class, when the students should start asking ‘so what? about course material. We respond to this question by covering the principles of ethics in one lecture and spending two or more sessions discussing various readings. Engineering students who have spent four years learning how to crunch numbers and to solve technical problems to three significant figures admit that the study of environmental ethics introduces new and exciting concepts into their professional thinking, and provides a perspective which otherwise would be missing from their education.
