Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history and cultural significance of the Scottish tartan, exploring its evolution from an ancient tribal symbol to a beloved emblem of national identity. The author traces the tartan's journey through centuries of clan warfare, political upheaval, and periods of suppression, highlighting its enduring role as a marker of kinship, heritage, and unwavering Scottish pride. The narrative delves into the intricate clan system of the Scottish Highlands, examining the hierarchical structure of chiefs, chieftains, and clansmen, and the unwavering loyalty that bound them together. The book explores the impact of historical events such as the Jacobite uprising of 1745 and the subsequent Disarming Act, which banned the wearing of tartan, leading to a diaspora of Highlanders seeking new lives overseas. Despite facing exile and hardship, these communities carried their traditions and love for the tartan to distant shores, ensuring its survival and continued relevance. With meticulous detail, the author delves into the unique patterns and colours associated with different clans, exploring their symbolism and the stories woven into their threads. The resurgence of interest in tartan during the 19th century and its embrace by Scots worldwide is examined, reflecting a deep-rooted connection to heritage and a celebration of cultural identity. This comprehensive exploration of the tartan reveals its enduring power as a symbol of resilience, unity, and the unwavering spirit of the Scottish people.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Listen: Ian Johnston busts the bad behavior myth.Should we really accept road trauma as collateral damage from daily road use? Eliminating Serious Injury and Death from Road Transport: A Crisis of Complacency explores why societies and their elected leaders view traffic safety as a (relatively) minor problem. It examines the changes in the culture of road use that need to occur if this public health problem is to be effectively resolved.Examines why road use culture is ego-centric ("what's in it for me?") and why this blocks progressExplores current traffic safety measurement methods and demonstrates how they have underpinned our flawed approachDiscusses the controversial issue of speed and speeding and shows how a new approach to speed management will be fundamental to transformational change Details a simple account of the concept of a "Safe System" (as now promoted by the WHO and the OECD) while exploring the failure to get beyond the principles to extensive implementation The book dispels the myths that currently drive societies' (misguided) view of traffic safety-the bad behavior myth and the official myth that everything that can be done is being done-and how these myths limit progress in reducing death and serious injury. It presents current scientific knowledge and draws parallels with other areas of public safety and health. The book draws on examples from the media and from public policy debates to paint a clear picture of a flawed public policy approach. It presents a model for a preventive medicine approach to traffic safety policy to get beyond an ego-centric culture to a communal safety culture.
