The Weekenders

The Weekenders

David F. Ross

Orenda Books
2025
pokkari
The deaths of a series of young Eastern European women in Glasgow leads to a stately home in the Scottish countryside, and back to the Second World War, where a group of young soldiers made their own, shocking rules… Saltire Prize shortlisted author David F. Ross returns with an extraordinary, dark mystery – first in a new series. ‘A thoroughly researched and well imagined historical mystery with echoes of David Peace’ Guardian ‘A novel of real ambition and verve … ranges from wartime Italy to sixties Glasgow to explore the past’s dark hold upon the present. Harrowing and compelling in equal measure, this is David F. Ross at the top of his game’ Liam McIlvanney ‘A masterpiece from one of Glasgow’s finest authors … epic in scale but told through the deeply personal accounts of its luckless, damaged characters. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor’ Callum McSorley ‘Righteous anger drives us through the narrative at a ferocious rate … All of Ross’s novels so far have been accomplished works, but The Weekenders is certainly one of the most compelling, with the dynamism of a thriller and the power of a stirring sermon’ Herald Scotland __________ Glasgow, 1966: Stevie ‘Minto’ Milloy, former star footballer-turned-rookie reporter, finds himself trailing the story of a young Eastern European student whose body has been found on remote moorland outside the city. How did she get there from her hostel at the Sovereign Grace Mission, and why does Stevie find obstacles at every turn? Italy, 1943: As the Allies fight Mussolini’s troops, a group of young soldiers are separated from their platoon, and Glaswegian Jamesie Campbell, his newfound friend Michael McTavish at his side, finds himself free to make his own rules… Glasgow, 1969: Courtroom sketch artist Donald ‘Doodle’ Malpas is shocked to discover that his new case involves the murder of a teenage Lithuanian girl he knows from the Sovereign Grace Mission. Why hasn’t the girl’s death been reported? And why is a young police constable suddenly so keen to join the mission? No one seems willing to join the dots between the two cases, and how they link to Raskine House, the stately home in the Scottish countryside with a dark history and even darker present – the venue for the debauched parties held there by the rich and powerful of the city who call themselves ‘The Weekenders’. Painting a picture of a 1960s Glasgow in the throes of a permissive society, pulled apart by religion, corruption, and a murderous Bible John stalking the streets, The Weekenders is a snapshot of an era of turmoil – and a terrifying insight into the mind of a ruthless criminal… _________________ ‘An alchemical epic that flies through decades while managing to remain deeply grounded in real lives and the battle for truth. Bravo!’ Ewan Morrison ‘This fiction is furious. David F. Ross goes deep and dark, in an attempt to understand the criminal mind … [and] writes with a righteous anger as he examines the evil that men do’ Alistair Braidwood, Scots Whay Hae ‘David Ross has a seemingly natural gift for pungently memorable phrasing and dialogue that feels you’re listening in rather than reading’ Damian Barr ‘Stark, uncompromising and gritty, David F. Ross takes us to a dark place that is no easy weekend away’ Douglas Skelton ‘Excruciating vulnerability meets the harsh daily realities of sixties’ Glasgow and the brutal machismo of its poisonous, smoke-filled institutions. Told with a wit as sharp as any razor, David F. Ross’s style has been honed to perfection’ Callum McSorley ‘A gripping tale of secrets and excess, and a stylish, mesmerising thriller, boldly delivered in Ross’ signature style’ George Paterson Praise for David F. Ross 'A dazzling, time-hopping patchwork of pop and politics, sewn together with wit and compassion' Kirstin Innes 'This amiable and ambitious transatlantic extravaganza is a busy social tapestry pegged to real-life events in Scotland and the US … Ross's affection for his characters shines through.

Mind You the Realities of Mental Illness

Mind You the Realities of Mental Illness

David Laing Dawson; Marvin Ross

Bridgeross Communications
2018
pokkari
The blog has had about 75,000 views and has been read in 151 different countries since 2014. The posts reflect ideas about mental illness, health and life that can be debated and discussed so that we can come to a higher understanding of the issues. And, we have separated out mental illness from mental health because, despite their often interchangeability, they are distinct. Mental illness as a medical condition that disrupts a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life. Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder. In contrast, mental health is a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. That is quite different from mental illness. Unfortunately there is a tendency to confuse these. Unfotunately, there tendency to talk about mental health issues and problems which are not the same as mental illnesses.

Democracy by Decree

Democracy by Decree

Ross Sandler; David Schoenbrod

Yale University Press
2004
pokkari
Schools, welfare agencies, and a wide variety of other state and local institutions of vital importance to citizens are actually controlled by attorneys and judges rather than governors and mayors. In this valuable book, Ross Sandler and David Schoenbrod explain how this has come to pass, why it has resulted in service to the public that is worse, not better, and what can be done to restore control of these programs to democratically elected—and accountable—officials. Sandler and Schoenbrod tell how the courts, with the best intentions and often with the approval of elected officials, came to control ordinary policy making through court decrees. These court regimes, they assert, impose rigid and often ancient detailed plans that can founder on reality. Newly elected officials, who may wish to alter the plans in response to the changing wishes of voters, cannot do so unless attorneys, court-appointed functionaries, and lower-echelon officials agree. The result is neither judicial government nor good government, say Sandler and Schoenbrod, and they offer practical reforms that would set governments free from this judicial stranglehold, allow courts to do their legitimate job of protecting rights, and strengthen democracy.

The Great Crash Of 2008

The Great Crash Of 2008

Ross Garnaut; David Llewellyn-Smith

Melbourne University Press
2009
pokkari
The great crash of 2008 was one that no one saw coming, or, if they did, they ignored the warning signs. Ross Garnaut, respected economist and author of the ""Garnaut Climate Change Review"", takes us through the recent boom and the global imbalances that led to the bust. He presents a whole-world view of reasons for the downturn, from good, old-fashioned greed and rampant speculation, to the imbalances in global capital flows. Crucially, he sets out how we might seek order in the wreckage in a world forever changed. What are the geo-economic and geo-strategic implications of such a wide-ranging crash, and how do we restore development in this changed world? The book will also include the impact of the downturn on climate change, economic policy and ideology.

Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death & Dying Teach Us about the Mysteries of Life & Living

Life Lessons: Two Experts on Death & Dying Teach Us about the Mysteries of Life & Living

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross; David Kessler

Scribner Book Company
2014
nidottu
Ten years after Elisabeth K bler-Ross's death: "An inspiring...guide to life, distilled from the experiences of people who face death" (Kirkus Reviews)--the beloved classic now with a new introduction and updated resources section. Is this really how I want to live my life? Each one of us at some point asks this question. The tragedy is not that life is short, but that we often see only in hindsight what really matters. In her first book on life and living, Elisabeth K bler-Ross joined with David Kessler to guide us through the practical and spiritual lessons we need to learn so that we can live life to its fullest in every moment. Many years of working with the dying have shown the authors that certain lessons come up over and over again. Some of these lessons are enormously difficult to master, but even the attempts to understand them can be deeply rewarding. Here, in fourteen accessible chapters, from the Lesson of Love to the Lesson of Happiness, the authors reveal the truth about our fears, our hopes, our relationships, and, above all, about the grandness of who we really are.

Elä tässä ja nyt

Viisas Elämä
2016
nidottu
On suuri taito osata elää tässä hetkessä.Usein mietimme eilistä tai huolehdimme huomisesta ja unohdamme nauttia tästä päivästä. Vasta kun oivallamme, että aikamme täällä on rajallinen, havahdumme näkemään sen voiman, joka kätkeytyy tähän hetkeen.Elisabeth Kubler-Ross on kirjoittanut yhdessä David Kesslerin kanssa kirjan Elä tässä ja nyt, joka opastaa arjen kanssa kamppailevaa ihmistä elämän suurissa kysymyksissä: kuinka antaa anteeksi, kuinka rakastaa ja kuinka vapautua syyllisyydestä, suuttumuksesta ja pelosta.Elä tässä ja nyt auttaa meitä näkemään, miten voimme käyttää meille annetun ajan viisaammin ja elää onnellisempaa elämää. Sen viestinä on: älä odota, että saat katsoa viimeisen kerran merta, taivasta, tähtiä tai rakastettuasi. Mene katsomaan niitä nyt.

Development Economics

Development Economics

David Forsyth; Mozammel Huq; Anthony Clunies-Ross

McGraw Hill Higher Education
2009
nidottu
Broad beliefs about the economics of ‘developing countries’ and of the development process have changed considerably since the subject became of wide interest in the 1950s; due largely to changes in the world and in the application of economic policies within developing countries. Subjects such as environment, gender, poverty, famine and globalization have come to be of increasingly important public interest. The extreme divergence of experience among regions of the world has also made it more and more questionable whether it even makes sense to think of a single and distinctive ‘economics of developing countries’. This textbook presents a concise and up-to-date examination of the field of development economics, bringing together historical perspectives, current issues and policy implications. Each chapter can be read as a stand-alone unit, or as part of the wider economic debates presented throughout the book.
