Old Bearsden
The douce Glasgow suburb is amply covered in this volume.

Besides the expected Douglas Place, Roman Road and Canniesburn Toll etc. there are views of Drewsteignton Home School, Buchanan Retreat, Mains, the shops at Kessington in the 1920s, Killermont Golf Course ... and more! You won't be disappointed!

A Glasgow Girl
SHORTLISTED FOR SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 'I loved this book . . . incredibly moving' Reverend Richard Coles 'A treasure of a book' Fern Britton 'Full of beauty, wit and inner strength' Samira Ahmed The heart-warming memoir from the much-loved broadcaster A Glasgow Girl is the coming of age story of Aasmah Mir's childhood growing up in 1970s Glasgow. From a vivacious child to a teenage loner, Aasmah candidly shares the highs and lows of growing up between two cultures - trying to fit in at school and retreating to the safe haven of a home inhabited by her precious but distant little brother and Helen, her family's Glaswegian guardian angel. Intricately woven into this moving memoir is the story of Aasmah's mother, as we follow her own life as a young girl in 1950s Pakistan to 1960s Scotland and beyond. Both mother and daughter fight, are defeated and triumph in different battles in this sharp and moving story. A Glasgow Girl is a remarkable memoir about family, identity and finding yourself where you are. This book was previously titled A Pebble in the Throat.

The Geology of Scotland, 5th edition (hardback)
Although a small country, Scotland’s geology is complex, internationally renowned and offers an accessible outdoor research laboratory and training ground for earth science. The onshore and offshore geology together encompass examples of all Earth’s geological periods and preserve many classic examples of sedimentary basins and orogenic belts. Palaeontological findings have provided key evidence for the evolution of life. With a wide spectrum of contributors, full-colour figures and photographs and, for each chapter, a Topic Box highlighting key research developments and challenges, this 5th edition of The Geology of Scotland represents a major update and expansion from the 4th edition. A revised Introduction summarizes the geological evolution of Scotland, the nature of the crust and the societal relevance of geology to climate change and sustainability. The final three chapters provide a modern view on energy, water and minerals, environmental concerns and geoconservation. The intervening chapters cover the geological periods, including much new geochronological data and exciting new palaeontological discoveries.
