Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 2002. 352pp. B&W illustrations. "Hugh Miller used his understanding of fossils to transport his readers back in time to witness a spell-binding spectacle of the creation and unfolding of the world in geological time. The papers collected in this bicentenary volume similarly use Hugh Miller's life and writings to open up the great issues of geology, church and society, and ethnography in Scotland in the first half of the nineteenth century - a period of great scientific discoveries, revolution in the church, and of clearances, emigration, urbanisation and rapid social change. Miller's ability to combine the skills of a Highland story-teller with the visual imagery of new technologies of panoramas and dioramas to dramatise his subject may be hard to match, but these papers leave readers in no doubt that this period was every bit as formative as the Scottish Enlightenment." Soft cover in excellent condition with light wear to covers. A collection of 30 papers presented to an international bicentenary conference held in Cromarty in October 2002.
