This is a comprehensive photographic journey through the rich and
vibrant history of Glasgow. It is fully-illustrated throughout with
almost 400 photographs. The POS is available, reviews in local
press and history magazines.Glasgow is a city that has seen great
change. Once the second city of the Empire, it was in 1999 chosen
as the UK City of Architecture and Design. Beneath the veil of
industrial grime, it would seem, was a place of incredible beauty.
In this stunning guide to the city, re-released in paperback due to
popular demand, authors Robert Jeffrey and Ian Johnson illustrate
the history of this transformation. This is a nostalgic look at
Glasgow as it used to be, the Dear Green Place that still sits so
fondly in the hearts of so many.
Throughout an astonishing criminal career, Johnny Ramensky was the
foremost safe-blower of his era. His exploits and audacious escapes
from maximum security prisons also helped make him a household name
- admired by some, notorious to others. But when the Second World
War broke out, Ramensky joined the elite Commandos and his story
became legend. Peacetime had brought Johnny Ramensky a hard
upbringing in the Gorbals, a life of crime and long years in jail.
War brought him the chance to serve his country and a new use for
his expertise in explosives. Time after time he would show
exceptional bravery as he was parachuted behind enemy lines to blow
open the safes of Rommel, Goering and the German High Command. His
mission was to secure documents vital to the war effort and it
brought him the danger and excitement he had always craved. Gentle
Johnny Ramensky is the remarkable story of a boy reared in poverty
who became one of the world's most extraordinary safe-blowers both
as a criminal and as a war hero who wore the Green Beret with
pride.
This book presents more hard hitting cases from the authors of
"Glasgow Crimefighter". As legendary Glasgow detective Les Brown
re-investigates cases from Stratford in east London to Wick, via

a series of unsolved murders of street prostitutes.These and many
more Real Hard Cases are re-opened by Les Brown, in this intriguing
new book co-written with Robert Jeffrey, author of a best-selling
string of true crime titles, including "Glasgow's Hard Men",

Scotland has a worldwide reputation for launching some of the
greatest ships ever built, but far less is known about our
pioneering work on aviation. Yet in the great industrial cities and
remote islands across the country, men and women risked their
reputations, resources and lives to advance experiments in flight.
Before airliners crossed the Atlantic Ocean and bombers secretly
flew into the NATO airbase at Machrihanish, pioneers of aviation
worked in the unlikely surroundings of Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow
among other places. Their humble flying crafts, made with wood and
canvas, would become the luxurious jet-engined aircraft of today.
Including the first flight over Everest, the construction of the
most northerly airship station in mainland Britain and the
experience of civilians and pilots during the Clydebank Blitz of
1941, Scotland's Wings is a glimpse into the dramatic and sometimes
controversial adventures within Scottish aeronautics. In Scotland's
Wings, Robert Jeffrey tells a fascinating history, highlighting
innovators whose ideas heralded the modern age of transport and
revealing how the airfields of previous years will once again be
used to progress into a daring new age of travel.

This book provides unique insights into the issues that drive
modified dosing regimens for antibiotics in the critically ill.
Leading international authors provide their commentary alongside a
summary of existing evidence on how to effectively dose
antibiotics. Severe infection frequently necessitates admission to
the intensive care unit (ICU). Equally, nosocomial sepsis often
complicates the clinical course in ICU. Early, appropriate
application of antibiotic therapy remains a cornerstone of
effective management. However, this is challenging in the critical
care environment, given the significant changes in patient
physiology and organ function frequently encountered. Being
cognisant of these factors, prescribers need to consider modified
dosing regimens, not only to ensure adequate drug exposure, and
therefore the greatest chance of clinical cure, but also to avoid
encouraging drug resistance.
The true story of one of Glasgow's most controversial detectives
and his battle with the criminals and violent street gangs of the
city Two children lay dead on the floor. Beside them was a hammer
and the ceiling was splattered with blood from the fatal blows.
Even to a hardened detective, it was the kind of sight that would
stay with you to the grave. This was Glasgow and the initial crime
that led to the killings was as petty as the crime scene was
horrific - the theft of a TV set. This was just one case among
hundreds investigated by Les Brown, one of the most experienced and
controversial detectives in a force charged with policing the city
known as the Chicago of north-west Europe. Glasgow Crimefighter
tells the inside story of cases and criminals who have written
themselves into the history of a city where brawling is said to be
in the blood. Down the years, the stories of many of the Glasgow
godfathers and gangsters have appeared in lurid headlines and in
books and articles. This is a different view - a rare and intensely
human insight into what it was like on the other side of the law
and it is told by someone who was just as hard as the men and women
he hunted down.This is what it was like to be on the frontline in
the war against crimes such as murder, fraud, rape, moneylending
and prostitution, and having to deal with violent street gangs on a
daily basis. Throughout his amazing career, Les Brown was in the
thick of the action and here he gives the insider's view on many of
the aspects of his work - the success stories and the failures of
the controversial Special Unit, the drama of famous trials and his
tangling with notorious gangland figures like Arthur Thompson.
Robert Jeffrey, author of the bestselling "Barlinnie Story" and
other true crime books, now tells the remarkable story of the
infamous Peterhead Prison in Scotland's far north-east. Built in
the 1880s as part of an ambitious humanitarian plan to use convict
labour to construct a 'harbour of refuge' on the town's wild,
storm-battered coast, it became what some call Scotland's gulag. A
cold and brutal place, it has held down the years some of
Scotland's most violent criminals and most infamous prisoners,
convicted of the most heinous of crimes. In the early days,
convicts were controlled by men as hard as their charges. The
wardens carried swords and were quick to use them if necessary. And
when convict labour was used to build the harbour, they worked with
rifles trained on them at all times. Peterhead's wardens were
clearly not to be crossed. Throughout the history of the prison,
riots and breakouts have made headlines, with the SAS involved in
restoring order at one point. Peterhead also had the reputation of
being so secure that escape was impossible, with the notable
exception of Johnny Ramensky, the safeblower turned war hero who
went back to his criminal ways and spent more than forty years of
his life in prison, many of them in Peterhead. He became the first
inmate to escape and repeated the exercise four more times, often
for his own satisfaction and amusement, each time being recaptured
after a short taste of freedom. "Peterhead - Scotland's Toughest
Prison" tells the remarkable inside story of a truly grim
institution with a fearsome reputation.
