STONE VOICES: THE SEARCH FOR SCOTLAND (PB) (NEW)

One of Scotland's finest writers considers his country in a fusion of history, memoir, political analysis and meditations on place - an approach which will be familiar to anyone who has read one of his columns. Ascherson weaves together the deep past - exploring geology and archaeology - with the story of modern Scotland and its renaissance in the 1990s. A natural companion to Edwin Muir's Scottish Journey and R F Mackenzie's A Search for Scotland. Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize.
