How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World and Everything in ItAn exciting account of the origins of the modern world Who formed the first literate society?

As historian and author Arthur Herman reveals, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Scotland made crucial contributions to science, philosophy, literature, education, medicine, commerce, and politics contributions that have formed and nurtured the modern West ever since.
An exciting account of the origins of the modern world Who formed the first literate society? Who invented our modern ideas of democracy and free market capitalism? The Scots. As historian and author Arthur Herman reveals, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Scotland made crucial contributions to science, philosophy, literature, education, medicine, commerce, and politics--contributions that have formed and nurtured the modern West ever since. Herman has charted a fascinating journey across the centuries of Scottish history. Here is the untold story of how John Knox and the Church of Scotland laid the foundation for our modern idea of democracy; how the Scottish Enlightenment helped to inspire both the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution; and how thousands of Scottish immigrants left their homes to create the American frontier, the Australian outback, and the British Empire in India and Hong Kong. How the Scots Invented the Modern World reveals how Scottish genius for creating the basic ideas and institutions of modern life stamped the lives of a series of remarkable historical figures, from James Watt and Adam Smith to Andrew Carnegie and Arthur Conan Doyle, and how Scottish heroes continue to inspire our contemporary culture, from William "Braveheart" Wallace to James Bond. And no one who takes this incredible historical trek will ever view the Scots--or the modern West--in the same way again.Binding Type: Paperback

Great well made lite weight shoes
Size: 13, Color: Black/Ivory
Beautiful men’s shoes and half the price of the exact same shoes in Macys. I love this brand because they are so lite and comfortable. My son is fussy and does not like wearing dress shoes but these are so well made and lite weight there are no issues. The soles are made well with good grip and the size runs true to size (we ordered a 13). Very easy to walk in for long periods of time. Highly recomended.

Great fit and comfort!
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Black Leather/Black
Happy with these new Cole Haan dress shoes. Have been buy this brand for many yrs now as They are one of the most comfortable daily dress work shoe. I try to get the wide size when I can as I have more of a high instep and the wide shoe helps alleviate the tight fit along the top of the shoe.
Have had this shoe for a few weeks now and is breaking in nicely.
