Summary

John Burroughs' 'The Last Harvest' is a captivating collection of essays that delve into the beauty and intricacies of nature. Burroughs' writing style is both descriptive and reflective, offering readers a deep insight into the natural world and the author's personal connection to it. Each essay is rich in detail and laden with observations that showcase a deep appreciation for the wilderness. Written in the late 19th century, 'The Last Harvest' captures the essence of the American nature writing movement, reflecting a growing interest in preserving and cherishing the environment. The book serves as a bridge between the transcendentalist ideas of the past and the emerging conservationist movement of the time, making it a significant literary piece in environmental literature. John Burroughs, a renowned naturalist and essayist, was greatly inspired by his explorations of the natural world, which led him to write 'The Last Harvest'. His keen observations and love for nature are evident in his writing, providing readers with a genuine and heartfelt portrayal of the wilderness. I highly recommend 'The Last Harvest' to anyone interested in the beauty of nature and the early conservationist movement in America. Burroughs' eloquent prose and profound insights make this book a must-read for nature enthusiasts and environmentalists alike.

    A medical history of Scotland, including practices, innovations, politics, diseases and pandemics, from medieval times to the twentieth century.   Scotland offers almost unique opportunities for medical historians. For a conventional history, there is a rich stock of famous doctors and their discoveries. There are also the contributions of four ancient universities and three equally old colleges of physicians and surgeons. For historians of public health there is the famous struggle against the problems of the industrial revolution and the lives and works of the great sanitary reformers in Glasgow and Edinburgh. For the social historian there are equal opportunities in the diversity of the health care in the Highlands and Lowlands, the rich traditions of Scottish folk medicine and the interactions of Scottish and English medical practice. Much else can be learnt in relating Scotland's great innovative periods to her cultural and political state at the time.  In this book, author David Hamilton explores new sources and evaluates the rich history of medicinal practices in Scotland. Thus, for historians both of medicine and of Scotland, this study is necessary to more fully understand the country's history.
