First edition.Scotland, writes the author in his Foreword "is contemporary and ancient, and therein is its greatest fascination.A cigarette lit under a neon sign can be stubbed on a tumulus. That is part of the flavour of Scotland. In the country that developed steam power, wireless telegraphy, modern surgery and radar, there is still, in outlying parts, a Stone Age technique of living, a survival of practices and superstitions which make prehistoric man walk hand in hand with the turbo-jet engineer.".

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 224pp.Do you know who lived in a goose-pie? What famous work had its inception on a bowling-green? Why a coin was left lying in a rope-seller's shop? The eighteenth century was a marvellous time of blossoming in so many fields of human endeavour, but nowhere was it more impressive than Scotland in the Golden Age. But while a great deal has been written about David Hume, Adam Smith, and Robert Burns, there has been a sad lack of a comprehensive account of the totality of accomplishment in Scotland during this period. Neil McCallum fills the gap. Philosophers and engineers, poets and astronomers, architects and mathematicians, road-makers and ship-builders, historians and physicists, chemists and geologists, agriculturists and doctors of medicine - all are paraded before us, and enable us to share in this wonderful explosion of knowledge and widening of intellectual frontiers. At the beginning of our period Scotland was bitterly poor, swept bare by a century of religious and political fighting. At the end of our period we stand on the threshold of the modern world.
