Tom Shields
Tom Shields- Free at Last, the third in the Tom Shields' Diary trilogy, has been eagerly awaited by the sort of people who have absolutely no idea what to buy Dad for Christmas.

Tom Shields Too

Thomas Shields and the Renewal of Catholic Education
This book explores the contribution of the Rev Dr Thomas Shields (1862-1921) to Catholic education in the United States of America in the late 19th and early 20th century. Fr Shields was a pioneer in combining a career as an academic in Catholic University of America with the publication of many resources for schools.

The book is in f...

Tom Shield's Diary
This is a compendium of fun, insult and malapropism. For 12 years the Glasgow Herald has paid this man to delve into every aspect of Scottish society. It is a witty irreverent commentary on every aspect of Scottish life. It takes sport, religon and politics and mixes them all whenever possible. It chronicles the culture of Scotland in a down-to-earth manner; some may call it philistinism. It specialises in the curious use of language - Glasgow patter, braid Scots, and there even a few jokes in the Gaelic The targets are many: from bampots to Burnsians, advocates to accountants.
