The New Penguin History of Scotland brings together the work of Scotland's foremost historians in a volume that is essential reading for anyone interested in Scotland and her people. Exploring the last 8,000 years of the country's history, from the scarcely documented Neolithic period to the current state of the nation, The New Penguin History of Scotland draws on the latest scholarship and a wide range of other disciplines-archaeology, social sciences, economics, science, religion, and literature. With individual chapters written by a leading expert on each particular period, The New Penguin History of Scotland illuminates the many ways in which the nation's history has shaped its national identity-going beyond the stories of kings, bishops, and battles to bring to life the history of the country's environment, family, and community. Lavishly illustrated, this engaging book will quickly establish itself as the most authoritative and comprehensive history of Scotland available today.

From Treasure Island to Trainspotting, Scotland's rich literary tradition has influenced writing across centuries and cultures far beyond its borders. Here, for the first time, is a single volume presenting the glories of fifteen centuries of Scottish literature. In Scotland's Books the much loved poet Robert Crawford tells the story of Scottish imaginative writing and its relationship to the country's history. Stretching from the medieval masterpieces of St. Columba's Iona - the earliest surviving Scottish work - to the energetic world of twenty-first-century writing by authors such as Ali Smith and James Kelman, this outstanding account traces the development of literature in Scotland and explores the cultural, linguistic and literary heritage of the nation. It includes extracts from the writing discussed to give a flavor of the original work, and its new research ranges from specially made translations of ancient poems to previously unpublished material from the Scottish Enlightenment and interviews with living writers. Informative and readable, this is the definitive single-volume guide to the marvelous legacy of Scottish literature.
