Explanation and Social Theory

The book ranges widely over modern social theory, giving detailed treatments of major sources to identify common themes and deficiencies in apparently disparate schools of thought. The object is to lay bare negative assumptions forming methodologies in modern social theory in order to redirect the social sciences towards real problems and the progressive consequences of their solution. Examples are given and, throughout, the continuity of particular and general concerns is demonstrated.

Excerpt from Elements of Gaelic Grammar: In Four Parts: I. Of Pronunciation and Orthography; II. Of the Parts of Speech; III. Of Syntax; IV. Of Derivation and Composition TO public teachers it is Of the highest moment, that the medium through which their instructions are communicated be properly adapted to that use, and that they be enabled to avail themselves Of it in the fittest manner. A language destitute of grammatical regularity can possess neither perspi cuity nor precision, and must therefore be very inadequate to the purpose of conveying one's thoughts. The Gaelic is in manifest danger of falling into this discreditable condition, from the disuse of Old idioms and distinctions, and the ad mission Of modern corruptions, unless means be applied to prevent its degenerating. It is Obvious that a speaker cannot express himself with preci sion, without a correct knowledge of grammar.

Rediscovered after 80 years gathering dust on a family bookshelf and first brough to public attention on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, A Very Uniportant Officer is a detailed and intimate account of the experience of an ordinary officer on the front line in France and Flanders throughout 1916 and 1917.  Recruited to The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in 1915 at the age of 33, Captain Stewart went 'over the top' many times, outliving 'so many better men', as he says with typical hunmility. Through his vivd testimony we learn of the mud ('more like thick slime'), the flies and the difficulties of suffering dysentry while on horseback. In one memorable passage he describes engaging the enemy while smoking a pipe - an episode for which he was awarded the Military Cross. Yet through the chaos and horror of the trenches, Captain Stewart reflects with compassion on the fears and immense courage of the men under his command. Newly edited by his grandson, Cameron Stewart, A Very Unimportant Officer gives us a fascinating insight into the horrors and absurdities of trench life.

A very readable book.

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform

REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION In the little known and controversial world of physical mediumship, Stewart Alexander is probably the least controversial and most respected among his peers and skeptics alike. His abilities - including extraordinary physical phenomena, evidence from loved ones, and book tests - have been experienced and put to the test by countless people for more than forty years. What started out as a curiosity through reading and study more than fifty years ago became his life's work - a life of patience, perseverance and service to the living and to the Spirit world, as he gradually overcame his own doubt and developed the ability to join the two worlds together. An Extraordinary Journey is personal and moving - yet it's more than a memoir - it's a spiritual guide, a history of Spiritualism that includes a plethora of sitter's first hand experiences - often wondrous, sometimes deeply emotional, but never dull. Through Stewart's mediumship, the bereaved are connected with their deceased loved ones, which demonstrates the likelihood that consciousness survives physical death.
