Far Off in Sunlit Places
Following his acclaimed chronicle of the Scots in America, Jim Hewitson has now turned his attention to the second great area of Scottish migration, Australia and New Zealand. From the first grim penal colony in Botany Bay in 1788 to the glamorous story of Duntocher-born 1930s speedway ace Ron Johnston, Scots have played a role at every level in
John Muir's Last Journey
"I am now writing up some notes, but when they will be ready for publication I do not know... It will be a long time before anything is arranged in book form." These words of John Muir, written in June 1912 to a friend, proved prophetic.

The Contemplative John Muir
John Muir is best known for his work in preserving the great natural areas of America. What is not commonly known is that he was also a great contemplative thinker - a sort of "wilderness mystic" - one who experienced union with the Divine through contact with the great natural areas of the Western United States. Muir's preservation efforts were motivated in large part by his experience of the spiritual dimension of Nature. It was Muir's earthy mysticism that motivated him to work so diligently for the preservation of wild places, which he viewed as "God's First Temples." This book is a sort of "bible" of Muir quotations related to a vibrant and ecstatic spirituality of Nature. It includes a new selection of never-before published selections from original journals contained in the John Muir Papers, as well as passages from his published works. Anyone interested in experiencing a deeper communion with Nature will find this book invaluable.
