I wrote this book because during my studies of Astronomy at U.C. Berkeley (earning an Sc.D. in the field), most of what was taught involved the discoveries of historical Astronomers; nothing about their private lives. Consequently, you’ll learn about the scientists and their backgrounds. The scientists in this book are only a few of the numerous who have made monumental contributions to the fields of astronomy, physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and so on. My hope is that after reading the personal stories of these scientists, you will gain a burning desire to discover more about the countless other scientists and their contributions to the aforementioned fields. Perhaps, you will be the next great contributor to these fields, or at least, you’ll look up to the night sky and say what I said as a child: “I wonder what else is up there that I cannot see?

Children’s Guide For Life:

Short Stories That Inspire

By: Prof. Robert Stewart

This book is a treasure trove of short stories each designed to instill valuable life lessons through vivid storytelling and relatable characters. Each story not only entertains but also imparts wisdom, making it a compelling read for both young readers and adults. One of the book's many strengths lies in its diversity of narratives, each centered around a protagonist facing unique challenges, which they overcome through virtues like integrity, respect, and compassion. For instance, "Peter and the Path to Unlikely Companions" tells the story of a boy whose unique interests isolate him from his peers until a school project on community heroes leads him to unexpected friendships and a newfound understanding among his classmates. This story, like many others in the collection, is beautifully narrated and rich with emotional depth, highlighting the importance of acceptance and the value of individual differences. "Children’s Guide For Life: Short Stories That Inspire" is an enriching read that offers more than simple tales. It invites readers into a world where challenges are met with courage and ethical choices, fostering a sense of moral responsibility and personal integrity. It’s a book that motivates one to read more, delve deeper, and learn through the art of storytelling. Whether for bedtime reading or classroom teaching, this book is a valuable addition to any bookshelf, promising to inspire and educate in equal measure.

Scots and the Union

By: Prof. Christopher A Whatley

This book traces the background to the Treaty of Union of 1707, explains why it happened and assesses its impact on Scottish society, including the bitter struggle with the Jacobites for acceptance of the union in the two decades that followed its inauguration. The book offers a radical new interpretation of the causes of union. The idea that the Scots were 'bought and sold for English gold' is largely rejected. Instead, emphasis is placed upon the international, dynastic and religious contexts in which the union was negotiated. The aggressive France of Louis XIV, the imagined threat posed by the church of Rome, and the real one represented by the Stuart pretender, loomed large in the consciousnesses of Scots who sought union. The principles of the Glorious Revolution, and the persistence from that time on of key political figures in Scotland in their determination to secure a treaty with England were crucial. Unionists too concerned themselves with Scotland's ailing economy, and aspired to the kind of civic society that Holland had become and that they saw in London. They were as patriotic as many of their opponents and believed that union offered the Scots what they were unable to obtain as a small independent state, with the country's interests defended with what John Clerk called Scotland's 'phantom' Parliament. The complex and shifting opinions of the Scottish people outside Parliament are also examined, as well as the effect this had on proceedings within. Key featuresNew controversial interpretation - challenges currently dominant view that the Scots were 'bought and sold for English gold', and bullied into union with England. Wide-ranging; topic coverage comprehensive - looks more widely at Scottish society and its economy, culture etc. than the competitionTimely/topical: contemporary interest in this event in Scottish/British history, especially 2007
