"From the Picts to the Scottish Parliament, the Oxford Companion to Scottish History is the definitive guide to twenty centuries of life in Scotland. It interprets history broadly, to include archaeology, architecture, climate, geology, and languages. Written by the foremost historians of Scotland, it is both descriptive and analytical. Key themes such as kingship, national identity, women and society, and living standards are explored in an authoritative but approachable way.".
"Unique in both breadth of coverage and depth of analysis; over 180 expert contributors, including the top authorities in their fields; invaluable for students and teachers of history, and for Scots at home and abroad; ranges from clans and Clearances to Burns Clubs, curling, and shinty; includes historical personalities such as Columba, Macbeth, and William Wallace; covers immigration, migration, and emigration, as well as Scots abroad; maps, genealogies, a chronology, a substantial guide to further reading, a thematic contents list, and an index support and complement the A-Z entries."--BOOK JACKET.
