Paperback. A strong editorial team and the majority of Scotland's most distinguished historians have lent their talents to this major project: a landmark in Scottish historical studies, and one which looks to reach a wider readership for serious Scottish history than has hitherto been the case. These volumes will be crucial in developing an awareness of Scottish history both in Scotland and further afield, and each volume can be read and enjoyed in its own right, or as part of a set. This is the second volume of a distance-learning history of Scotland course. This book covers 1850 to the present. The 26 major topics are covered in five books, designed for self-study and written to accompany the course. These volumes are: two tutorial volumes, two volumes of reprinted articles and essays, and a volume of documents. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
