Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Emigration from Scotland between the wars
by Marjory Harper
Emigration from Scotland has always been very high. However, emigration from Scotland between the wars surpassed all records; more people emigrated than were born, leading to an overall population decline. Why was it so many people left? Marjory Harper, whose knowledge is grounded in a deep understanding of the local records, maps out the many factors which worked together to cause this massive diaspora. After an opening section where the author sets the Scottish experience within the context of the rest of the British Isles, the book then divides the country geographically, starting with the Highlands, then coastal Scotland, and the urban Lowland highlighting in turn the factors that particularly influenced each of these areas. Harper then discusses the organised religious and political movements that encouraged emigration. By interweaving personal stories with statistical evidence Harper brings to life the reality behind the dramatic historical migration.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Emigrant homecomings
The return movement of emigrants, 1600–2000
by Marjory Harper
Emigrant Homecomings addresses the significant but neglected issue of return migration to Britain and Europe since 1600. While emigration studies have become prominent in both scholarly and popular circles in recent years, return migration has remained comparatively under-researched, despite evidence that in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries between a quarter and a third of all emigrants from many parts of Britain and Europe ultimately returned to their countries of origin. Emigrant Homecomings analyses the motives, experiences and impact of these returning migrants in a wide range of locations over four hundred years, as well as examining the mechanisms and technologies which enabled their return. The book examines the multiple identities that migrants adopted and the huge range and complexity of homecomers' motives and experiences. It also dissects migrants' perception of 'home' and the social, economic, cultural and political change that their return engendered.

Thriller | Ein gemeinsamer Mord verbindet oder trennt
by Tess Sharpe, Thomas Wörtche, Stefan Lux
Niemand hat mehr etwas von Toby Dunne gehört seit Chloe Harpers Sweet-Sixteen-Party – denn das Geburtstagskind selbst und die damals sechzehnjährige Mel haben ihn tief im Wald begraben. Mel macht sich darüber keine großen Sorgen, schließlich hatte dieser Kleingangster alle und jeden terrorisiert. Was Mel jedoch den Schlaf raubt, ist Chloe, das Mädchen, mit der sie diese schreckliche Nacht im Wald überlebt hat, in das sie sich verliebt hat, das verschwunden ist und seit mehr als sechs Jahren nicht mehr gesehen wurde. Mel, inzwischen Top-Privatdetektivin, wird von Chloes Familie mit der Suche nach ihr beauftragt und findet sie in der kanadischen Wildnis. Aber Chloe scheint jemand anderen erwartet zu haben. Jemand, der ihr und Mel mehr als nur gefährlich werden könnte. Denn als sie vor Jahren Toby Dunne begraben haben, haben sie mit ihm noch etwas anderes begraben. Etwas, das Toby gestohlen hatte. Und die mächtige Familie, der er es gestohlen hatte? Die würde alles tun, um es zurückzubekommen … Messerscharf erzählt und mit vielen Wendungen: ein actiongeladener, von Liebe durchdrungener Thriller über zwei Frauen, deren Leben – und Herzen – füreinander bestimmt sind.
