This is my love letter to the nation that gives us the blueprint
for international style. From Grace Kelly in her Pringle of
Scotland twinset to Cher and Dionne tartan-twinning in Clueless, it
all returns to Alba. In How Scotland Dressed the World, Lynne
Coleman explores the country’s rich cultural impact on the modern
world. Telling the tales of the cloth that covers continents and
how it has been woven into political and economic movements. No
matter what style tribe you subscribe to, this book shows how it
all starts in Scotland. From ‘gallus’ and ‘peely-wally’, to
‘tartan-punk’ and Ralph Lauren’s ‘preppy chic’, whoever
you are, however you dress, you will always have a piece of
Scotland with you – even if it’s only in the lining of your
wellies!

Throughout his presidency, Ronald Reagan sought "peace through
strength" during an era of historic change. In the decades since,
pundits and scholars have argued over the president's legacy: some
consider Reagan a charismatic and consummate leader who renewed
American strength and defeated communism. To others he was an
ambitious and dangerous warmonger whose presidency was plagued with
mismanagement, misconduct, and foreign policy failures. The recent
declassification of Reagan administration records and the
availability of new Soviet documents has created an opportunity for
more nuanced, complex, and compelling analyses of this pivotal
period in international affairs. In Reagan and the World, leading
scholars and national security professionals offer fresh
interpretations of the fortieth president's influence on American
foreign policy. This collection addresses Reagan's management of
the US national security establishment as well as the influence of
Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and others in the
administration and Congress. The contributors present in-depth
explorations of US-Soviet relations and American policy toward
Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. This balanced and
sophisticated examination reveals the complexity of Reagan's
foreign policy, clarifies the importance of other international
actors of the period, and provides new perspectives on the final
decade of the Cold War.
