[APPROVED] SERIES EDITOR: JENNY WORMALD A flagship series for Edinburgh University Press for many years, The New History of Scotland books have become classic texts. Written by authors at the forefront of their discipline, titles in this series provide an ideal introduction to Scottish history for students and for general readers. This popular and enduring series is now being updated with thoroughly revised editions both by original and by new authors. [Neal Ascherson endorsement to follow] Praise for previous editions: 'Harvie has achieved a masterly synthesis of the most important political, economic, social and cultural developments in Scotland's recent past, written too with great wit and style ... fully deserves the gratitude of students and scholars for making Scottish history so accessible and stimulating.' English Historical Review 'Indispensable to anyone seeking to understand modern Scotland.' The Herald '... a bold and original book shot through with novel ideas.' Scottish Historical Review Fully revised and updated edition of this classic text on the history of Scotland since World War I Epitomised by political, social and technological change this history appraises a fast-evolving century, from the outbreak of World War I up to the present and the politics of devolution and the age of the internet. The book begins with the devastating impact of World War I and Scotland's critical role in its conduct, then continues to explore Scots institutional life, from 1922 to 1964, governed by the problems of economy, society, politics and culture embedded in a mature industrialised state with economic problems and governmental deficits. Two further chapters cover the period from 1964 to 1999, including the challenge of new industries, oil discoveries, and the rise of devolutionary and nationalist politics. A new section for this edition covers the course of devolved politics, from the Scottish parliament of 1999 to the financial collapse of 2008 and the constitutional upheavals of 2014-15, rounding off this unique interpretation of a century of Scottish life from a cherished and multi-faceted historian. CHRISTOPHER HARVIE, Professor of British and Irish Studies at the University of T�bingen, has written extensively on UK and Scottish history. A founder-historian at the Open University, 1969‒80, he is the author of over 16 books, including The Lights of Liberalism (1976), Scotland and Nationalism (1977), The Rise of Regional Europe (1994), A Floating Commonwealth (2008), Scotland: A Short History (2014) and the historical novel Dalriada (2015). He was a Member of the Scottish Parliament, 2007‒11.
