Zusammenfassung:As we approach the Millennium it is time to take stock. This ambitious project surveys the massive changes the 20th century has brought to Scotland. The nation's leading commentators give an overview of the most important trends, providing new insights and fresh perspectives. Comparative reference to other societies in the UK and Europe highlight the unique elements of Scotland's distinctive development. Home Rule issues, the discovery of oil, deindustrialisation, public housing, education, land ownership, the role of women, social class, the literary renaissance and many more areas of Scottish life are assessed and explored in this rich, rewarding and comprehensive study.
