Postcards from Scotland
An oral history of the Scottish indie music scene from 1983 to 1995. Postcards from Scotland covers the independent Scottish music scene of the 1980s and early 1990s, which included such bands as Teenage Fanclub, Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream. The book features interviews with almost all musicians, record labels, venues, promoters and journalists central to the scene.
Cool Papas and Double Duties
Many of the great ballplayers of the Negro League have been forgotten simply because baseball's Hall of Fame would not recognize black players until Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige made their way into the Hall of Fame. For this book, more than 50 former Negro League players and baseball historians were asked to vote for players who they believe should have been included in the Hall of Fame, and to select an All-Time Negro League All-Star Team. In addition to presenting and discussing their choices, the book profiles the lives and careers of the players selected. Appendices include rosters of the players and historians who voted.
Hungry Beat
'Hungry Beat is the story of an all-too-brief era where the short-circuiting of that industry seemed viable. But hell, the times were luminous as was the music these artists made. The songs and many of the players remain, and here they tell their story and lick their wounds' Ian Rankin The immense cultural contribution made by two maverick Scottish independent music labels, Fast Product and Postcard, cannot be underestimated. Bob Last and Hilary Morrison in Edinburgh, followed by Alan Horne and Edwyn Collins in Glasgow helped to create a confidence in being Scottish that hitherto had not existed in pop music (or the arts in general in Scotland). Their fierce independent spirit stamped a mark...
Alien in the Mirror
Directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth) and starring Scarlett Johansson, the 2013 film Under the Skin contains elements of science fiction and fantasy, horror, mystery, and thriller. Arguably the most compelling of Johansson's career, the movie follows a unique tale of one woman's journey to self-discovery. This is the first book to be written about the quiet masterpiece, revisiting the film scene-by-scene through all its cinematic elements. Extensive interviews detail the challenges the filmmakers faced--from hidden filming on the streets of Glasgow to defying a blizzard in the Scottish Highlands. Readers are invited to explore connections between the movie and its science fiction cousins and discover the reasons why Under the Skin deserves to find a wider audience.
No Future
An innovative history of British youth culture during the 1970s and 1980s, charting the full spectrum of punk's cultural development.
Blois Family History
The Blois family descends from the French Counts de Blois. Some descendants became Huegenots and were forced to flee France to England. There they dropped the de in the surname de Blois. Thomas Blois (b.1725) was the father of Abraham Blois (1747-1839). Abraham travelled to Canada as a soldier and eventually settled in Nova Scotia with his wife, Sarah Margaret Kilcup (1773-1849). They became the parents of fourteen children. Descendants live in Canada and the United States.

The Scottish Pioneers of Upper Canada, 1784-1855
Glengarry, Upper Canada’s first major Scottish settlement, was established in 1784 by Highlanders from Inverness-shire. Worsening economic conditions in Scotland, coupled with a growing awareness of Upper Canada’s opportunities, led to a growing tide of emigration that eventually engulfed all of Scotland and gave the province its many Scottish settlements. Pride in their culture gave Scots a strong sense of identity and self-worth. These factors contributed to their success and left Upper Canada with firmly rooted Scottish traditions. Individual settlements have been well observed, but the overall picture has never been pieced together. Why did Upper Canada have such appeal to Scots? Wha...
