The 1820 Scottish Rising has been increasingly studied in recent
decades. This collection of essays looks especially at local
players on the ground across multiple regional centres in the west
of Scotland, as well as the wider political circumstances within
government and civil society that provide the rising's context. It
examines insurrectionist preparation by radicals, the progress of
the events of 1820, contemporary accounts and legacy
memorialisation of 1820, including newspaper and literary
testimony, and the monumental 'afterlife' of the rising. As well as
the famous march of radicals led by John Baird and Andrew Hardie,
so often seen as the centre of the 1820 'moment', this volume casts
light on other, more neglected insurrectionary activity within the
rising and a wide set of cultural circumstances that make 1820 more
complex than many would like to believe. 1820: Scottish Rebellion
demonstrates that the legacy of 1820 may be approached in numerous
ways that cross disciplinary boundaries and cause us to question
conventional historical interpretations.

Metropolitan Planning in Britain is the first comparative analysis
and assessment of metropolitan areas and their strategic planning
for almost two decades. Changes in population distribution, styles
of local government, business practices, and attitudes to the
environment have all had an impact on cities in recent years which
planners and other policy makers must take into consideration.
Based on a series of research projects and the activities of a
study group supported by the Regional Studies Association, the book
examines in detail nine major urban areas, their specific
characters and requirements, and how metropolitan planning is
adapting to fulfil those requirements. It also discuses the
possible future evolution of metropolitan planning, especially in
the light of new regional arrangements and devolution.
