Böcker av Andrew Murray Scott

DUNDEE has undergone momentous change in the eight decades since World War Two. Few bombs fell on the city during the war, but in 1945 Dundee Corporation faced an acute housing crisis and the urgent need to attract new employers. The cityâ??s economy began to diversify after long dependence on the jute industry. Andrew Murray Scottâ??s vivid, informative and finely illustrated account offers keen insights into the processes of de- velopment and paints a graphic portrait of the modern city and the cultural and social life of its people.

Men without women, men without a clue, men loaded to the eyeballs on hallucinogenics.... Three St Andrews University graduates, Victor Emerson, a young Tory monster, Philip Quinn, the psychopathic Trotskyite and Edwards, the original unreliable narrator have only one thing in common; their need to ingest large quantities of magic mushrooms as often as possible. Ten years after graduating with such promise, they are all washed up, all of their schemes have failed. But at last, Emerson has come up with a plan. A crazy, deluded, sociopathic plan, ridiculous, nasty... but a plan nevertheless, that just might make them all rich. A parable of our times...If Hunter S Thompson, Thomas De Quincy and Flann O'Brien could have got together to write a crackpot heist comedy, this would be it...
