Exploring the medieval heritage of Aberdeenshire and Moray, the essays in this volume contain insights and recent work presented at the British Archaeological Association Conference of 2014, based at Aberdeen University. The opening, historical chapters establish the political, economic and administrative context of the region, looking at both the secular and religious worlds and include an examination of Elgin Cathedral and the bishops’ palaces. The discoveries at the excavations of the kirk of St Nicholas, which have revealed the early origins of religious life in Aberdeen city, are summarized and subsequent papers consider the role of patronage. Patronage is explored in terms of architecture, the dramas of the Reformation and its aftermath highlighted through essentially humble parish churches, assailed by turbulent events and personalities. The collegiate church at Cullen, particularly its tomb sculpture, provides an unusually detailed view of the spiritual and dynastic needs of its patrons. The decoration of spectacular ceilings, both carved and painted, at St Machar’s Cathedral, Provost Skene’s House and Crathes Castle, are surveyed through the eyes of their patrons and the viewers below. Saints and religious devotion feature in the last four chapters, focusing on the carved wooden panels from Fetteresso, which display both piety and a rare glimpse of Scottish medieval carnal humour, the illuminated manuscripts from Arbuthnott, the Aberdeen Breviary and Historia Gentis Scotorum.The medieval artistic culture of north-east Scotland is both battered by time and relatively little known. With discerning interpretation, this volume shows that much high-quality material still survives, while the lavish illustrations restore some glamour to this lost medieval world.

Two passionate musicians, Nick and Dom, have grappled for years to become the chart-busting, hard-gigging success story their band is today. They’ve slogged it out on the European gig circuit and fought their demons in the process, realising there’s much more to learn about the cut-throat music industry than they ever thought. But what was to happen next, they could never have prepared for. Sent to a remote Scottish island by their shady record exec boss, the pair long to escape and start afresh. But old habits die hard, and unknown to them, life on the island is about to spiral into a new world of revenge, debauchery and syndicate gang warfare. It’s only rock n roll? No way, darling...

Examines Shakespeare fragments as agents of appropriation Draws on new theoretical approaches that re-centre Shakespeare as the axis of the appropriative act Adds new concepts to appropriation studies that expand the debates over textual fidelity, with particular emphasis on new materialist approaches Drawing on new materialism and object-oriented ontology, Variable Objects proposes that Shakespeare is a vibrant object replete with a variable energy that accounts for its infinite meaning-making capacity. Using critical race theory, object oriented feminism, performance studies, Global Shakespeares, media studies and game theory, the collection's essays explore the dialogic relationship between the Shakespeare object and its appropriation. Each chapter demonstrates that instead of moving away from the source of appropriation, an object-oriented approach can centralise Shakespeare without the constraints of outdated notions of fidelity. Highlighting the variable materiality inherent in Shakespeare, the collection foregrounds the political ecologies of literary objects as a new methodology for adaptation studies.

This book was written as the second half of a course suitable for those pupils who would have sat either Intermediate 2 or Standard Grade Credit Maths at the end of their 4th (or in some cases 3rd) years at school. It also, along with Int-2-Credit book 1, provides an ideal book to use with pupils studying for the new CfE National 5 course being developed in schools. The second half of the book consists of a wealth of revision and support materials including specimen exam papers.Book IC1 followed the order of Intermediate 2, covering Mathematics 1 and Mathematics 2, but doing so to the depth of Credit.The first half of this book completes the Intermediate 2 course, covering the Mathematics 3 element of the work. It also has 4 home exercises (Practice make Perfect), as well as end of chapter summary exercises (Remember, Remember...) and non-calculator practice exercises.The second half of the book revises the work required to attempt either the Credit or the Intermediate 3 exam. It has:-- Basic (KU) mini-exercises covering all the topics.Questions similar to those in Paper 1 (non-calculator), gleaned from the last 5 or 6 years papers.- Questions of a Paper 2 type, again similar to those from the last 5 or 6 years papers.- A specimen Credit Paper (non-calculator and calculator).- A specimen Intermediate 2 Paper (non-calculator and calculator).As well as this, we have included 2 short chapters at the back, covering a couple of early Higher Maths topics, namely "Recurrence Relations" and "Equations of Lines".These are optional, but could be used in S4, after completing the Credit / Intermediate 2 course, or in the summer term as pupils return having just sat their Maths exam.

This book, along with General Book 3G covers in depth the entire contents of the General Course. It is also an invaluable resource which can easily be used to cover the outcomes of the new CfE National 4 course being introduced to Scottish schools. It is a pupil friendly book and is one of our biggest selling resources. We found that pupils who struggled with the complexities of other General resources on the market, and who found the sudden change of pace and the level of difficulty too great to cope with, felt a lot more comfortable with our 3G and 4G textbooks.In Book 3G, we truncated the work in some chapters, for example:Pythagoras - Hypotenuse onlyCircle work - Circumference onlyTrigonometry - Tangent only (Tan tables at back of book), in order to allow pupils to have access to these topics and feel confident with the work without burdening them with all the "tricky bits"!Though the missing topics from these chapters were covered in the Extension Materials in 3G, they are re-produced in this book with changed numbers.
