Blazing Paddles

Pages : 268
Book Description
Alone in his kayak, Brian Wilson sets off from the Solway Firth on a 2000-mile odyssey around Scotland's extraordinarily varied coastline of cliffscapes, unspoiled shorelines, treacherous sea passages and beautiful Hebridean islands. Adventure is there aplenty as he battles with whirlpools, heavy seas and hypothermia and survives a close encounter with a killer whale. During the voyage, which finishes on the East Lothian coast at Seacliff, he meets a colourful cast of characters, including the larger-than-life famous shark hunter, Tex Geddes, Dr Stan the cave-dweller and even streaks naked in front of the Princess of Wales. Sometimes harrowing, frequently philosophical, and often hilarious, Blazing Paddles is also a perceptive commentary on the environmental issues which threaten the Scottish coastline and its unique and fragile wildlife.

Book Description
Wildlife occupy an incredibly special place in Scottish heritage. Many offer incredible spectacles, of course; but many are associated with so much more. Consider, for example, how various wildlife have fuelled some of the nation's most famous folktales and legends, and inspired its most prominent artists and authors. This book explores the rich abundance of ways in which the wildlife of Scotland have impacted us, and vice versa, through time, in an effort to broaden and deepen appreciation for the nation's wildlife.
Authentic Democracy
Author: DaN McKeePublisher: Tippermuir Books Limited
ISBN: 1916477860
Category : Political Science

Pages : 145
Book Description
Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like. In recent years, such chants - in the main aimed at democratically-elected governments by free citizens - have become common in anti-government protests across the world. Something is clearly amiss with democracy. In Authentic Democracy, this democratic deficit is exposed. By unpacking the underlying arguments and assumptions which justify the current political order, Authentic Democracy shows that the existing democracies are in fact highly undemocratic; and that anarchism is what authentic democracy looks like. "Dan McKee offers an engaging and accessible case for anarchism, deeply rooted in ethics and powerfully responding to conventional defences of authority. This book is an original and valuable contribution which deserves a wide audience." - Uri Gordon, author of Anarchy Alive!
