Published in 1999, this volume provides the first thorough analysis
of the elements of sustainable public policy in a devolved
Scotland. Following the vote for a Scottish Parliament in the 1997
referendum, it explores the immediate and longer-term challenges
likely to confront Scotland. The book brings together
policy-thinkers and practitioners from academia, business, the
voluntary sector and politics to ask: What are the key
opportunities and constraints around sustainability? What practical
difference will devolution make? What changes within and beyond
government will be required to strengthen the roots of sustainable
development? It includes the findings from a specially-commissioned
opinion poll published in this volume for the first time. Offering
a far-sighted analysis, the book poses a series of timely questions
and offers policy recommendations for the next decade.

In "Ghosts of the Bluegrass," James McCormick and Macy Wyatt
present stories of Kentucky ghosts past and present. Some of the
tales are set in rural areas, but many take place in urban areas
such as the haunted house on Broadway in downtown Lexington and in
buildings on the University of Kentucky campus, where Adolph Rupp
is said to have conversed with the deceased biology professor Dr.
Funkhouser. This volume contains chapters on haunted places,
poltergeists, communication with the dead, and ghosts who linger to
resolve unfinished business from their past lives, as well as a
chapter about ghosts who reveal themselves through lights, changes
in temperature, or sound. The book even features a chilling account
by a nineteenth-century family haunted in their Breckinridge County
home. Whether witnesses believe that a spirit has come to protect
those it left behind or to complete an unfinished task, ghostly
appearances remain a mystery. As McCormick and Wyatt point out,
there are no right or wrong answers when it comes to the
supernatural. One thing is certain: these tales will bring pleasure
and perhaps a goose bump or two to the reader interested in ghost
stories and folklore in the Kentucky tradition.

Originally published in 1896. This is a fascinating read for any
historian. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
