The Airdrie district lies at the heart of the Midland Valley and includes the eastern part of Glasgow and other large surrounding conurbations, forming one of the most densely populated areas in Scotland. By contrast, the Kilsyth Hills, which occupy more than 100 square miles in the north of the district, are sparsely populated and mostly given over to hill farming and forestry. This work looks at the geological history of the area through a number of geological periods, concluding with the repeated glaciations during the Quaternary, the effects of which are clearly displayed in the present landscape.

“A análise da ficção sobre monstros, chama a atenção para o caráter problemático da natureza da subjetividade pressuposta na teoria pedagógica — sobretudo na teoria pedagógica crítica. A “pedagogia dos monstros” não desenvolve uma pedagogia dirigida à formação de monstros nem uma pedagogia que utilize os monstros com fins formativos. A “pedagogia dos monstros” recorre aos monstros para mostrar que o processo de formação da subjetividade é muito mais complicada do que nos fazem crer os pressupostos sobre o “sujeito” que constituem o núcleo das teorias pedagógicas — críticas ou não.”

With Nathalie''s encouragement, John embarks upon new writing adventures. The scenes he conjures are enticing to her, yet almost deranging to him.

A historical inquiry into Kantian philosophy as a form of philosophical religion Kantian philosophy is typically viewed as providing a universal theory of knowledge and morality based on timeless principles retrieved from the human mind. In The Kantian Religion, Ian Hunter offers a starkly different account. Hunter contends that Kant''s arguments were assembled from purely historical sources and served as ascetic devices for crafting the towering self of the Kantian philosopher; they were exercises in intellectual self-clarification and moral transformation undertaken by a cohort of the philosophically educated in search of spiritual clarity and moral purity. These "solemn rites of the mind" were seen as heir and rival to the regenerative resources and cultural importance of the Christian religion, and Kantianism was characterized as a philosophical religion. Hunter describes the ways that elite spiritual athletes performed a series of philosophically strenuous "acts of the self on the self" through Kant''s intellectual exercises. When Kantianism emerged as an insurgent cultural movement in the 1780s, it offered young academics training to be clergy and teachers a philosophy that was powerful enough to supplant Christian spirituality and to subordinate humanist scholarship and the natural sciences to philosophical self-reflection. For Kant and his followers, the religious disposition of Kantian philosophy came solely from the immanent practice of the philosophy itself. As a rival to conventional religion and as an academic interloper, Kantian philosophy unleashed a wave of conflicts in Germany''s ecclesiastical and scholarly cultures. Although recent Kant commentary typically views Kantianism as intrinsically secular and scientific, Hunter argues provocatively that Kant''s contemporaries viewed his philosophy as an extra-ecclesiastical path to spiritual refinement and moral regeneration.

Mark Wilson nearly died at birth. He survived but suffered a severe brain injury, and at six months of age was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Doctors warned his parents he would likely never walk or talk. ‘Best not to expect too much,’ they said. But Shirley and Glenn refused to give up. Determined to defy the grim prognosis, Mark’s parents embarked on an intense, home-based therapy program—one with no guarantees, only relentless effort and hope. And against all odds, it worked. Told with Mark’s signature self-deprecating humour, Wobbles is more than just his story. His parents, sister, and childhood therapist, Ian Hunter, share their own perspectives, revealing the immense challenges, sacrifices, and unexpected joys that shaped their journey. Moments of triumph sit alongside deep despair—a hilarious battle with his kitchen nemesis, the plastic bread clip, is followed by his mother’s heartbreaking contemplation of suicide. Raw, uplifting, and deeply human, Wobbles is an emotional rollercoaster, offering not just inspiration but a real-life story demonstrating how, and explaining why, the brain can recover from catastrophic injury. This unforgettable memoir proves that resilience, love, and determination can rewrite even the bleakest of fates.
