First published in 1985, A History of the Highland Clearances:
Volume 2 explores the various types of communal and intellectual
responses, contemporary and retrospective, to the experience of the
clearances. The first section considers the legacy of the two
hundred years' debate about the Highland problem and the place of
the clearances therein. The second section assesses the scale,
range and timing of the emigrations of the Highlanders, as well as
some of the motivations. The third section contemplates the direct
popular response to the clearances, the collective memory and the
tradition of physical resistance. The fourth section is about the
career, trial and reputation of Patrick Sellar, which together
embodied much of the social history, ruling ideas, and the
necessary mythology of the clearances. The final section considers
the fundamental economic problem of the Highlands in the age of the
clearances, and the moral and economic alternatives that faced the
community, the landlords, and the nation.
First published in 1982, A History of the Highland Clearances looks
at the forcible clearance of tenants from land they had farmed for
centuries by landlords in the Highlands of Scotland in the early
nineteenth century. It examines the general context of historical
change, provides a full narrative of the clearances and offers a
critical evaluation of the documentary sources upon which the
entire story depends. By placing his subject in its historical
perspective and into the context of the rest of Britain and Europe,
Eric Richards vividly illustrates the realities of the Highland
experience in the age of the clearances.

The Highland Clearances stands out as one of the most emotive
chapters in the history of Scotland.This book traces the origins of
the Clearances from the eighteenth century to their culmination in
the crofting legislation of the 1880s. In considering both the
terrible suffering of the Highland people as well as the stark
choices that faced landowners during a period of rapid economic
change, it shows how the Clearances were one of many 'attempted'
solutions to the problem of how to maintain a population on
marginal and infertile land, and were, in fact, part of a wider
European movement of rural depopulation. In drawing attention away
from the mythology to the hard facts of what actually happened, The
Highland Clearances offers a balanced analysis of events which
created a terrible scar on the Highland and Gaelic imagination.

Storm clouds always gather over the story of the Highland
Clearances. The eviction of the Highlanders from the glens and
straths of the Highlands and Islands of the north of Scotland still
causes great historical dispute more than a century after the
events. The Highland Clearances also generated a great deal of
contemporary controversy and documentation. The record comes in
diverse forms and with radically different provenances, offering
excellent material for exercises in historical analysis and
selection. Debating the Highland Clearances introduces the Highland
Clearances as a classic historical problem. Eric Richards reviews
the historical debate and examines the methods and sources employed
by the combatants past and present. The debates among historians,
novelists, politicians and economists are no less passionate today
and raise major questions about interpretation and the appropriate
frame of reference for the noisy and continuing public debate about
the Highland Clearances. This book presents a representative
anthology of documents illustrating the historical foundations on
which the debate is built. The debate is set in context and the
author explains why it is not only important for Scottish patriots
but for history in general. Key Features: * Organised into two
parts; the first considers debates surrounding the Clearances, the
second examines a selection of the sources which inform these
debates * Presents and analyses an anthology of source material
compiled to introduce the debates surrounding the Highland
Clearances to audiences learning about historical analysis * Asks
why passionate debate about the Clearances has been sustained and
provides a modern introduction to its main issues
There is vast needless suffering in the world. As the world's "most
intelligent" species, we humans have the ability and resources and
therefore the moral obligation to eliminate this unnecessary
suffering. "Myth and Madness: Evolution of Human Nature" traces the
evolutionary origins of tribalism - the tribalism that keeps us
from cooperating to solve our mutual global problems. In spite of
our prodigious abilities and our vast scientific and technological
achievements, we humans have an evolved defect - one which allows
us to accept myths as realities. These myths keep us from solving
the global problems we face. This work traces the evolutionary
origins of the defect and suggests ways that we can eliminate it
and bring about the species-wide cooperation necessary to create a
more sane and humane world for ourselves and for our posterity.
A young man, David, experiences the trials and tribulations of a
new relationship, and ultimately suffers through a tragedy in
losing it. Musing on the past, and living a solitary lifestyle he
turns more and more inward. Finding one day that he can see what
goes on next door he begins to watch, to passively take on the role
of voyeur. But one day, suddenly, it takes a more malignant turn.
It becomes obvious that his neighbors have been taken hostage by
some very bad men. He struggles with what to do about it, whether
to leave or stay, and if he stays how to help his neighbors. This
is the story of his struggle, both within and without, as the
events developed and played themselves out around him.
I wrote this book for me, the way it happened, and so maybe it's
also for you. I learned that rehab is not just about helping
people. The help is there, if you need it-but you have to be able
to pay for it. If you can't, and you really need help, then you are
in a world of trouble. If you can pay, then maybe there will always
be a reason to get you in. In my case, I had to go-or end my
career. I was lucky because I could pay, so I can continue the work
I have chosen and love. I met some good people and fine counselors,
and learned some useful things. But it wasn't all benevolent-much
was dogmatic, and sometimes malicious. At times, the rehab
providers wielded their clout in a nasty way. I resisted, then
submitted, and then complied, learning what I could along the way.
And I wrote it down. This is the story.
