How The Scots Invented The Modern World

[Catherine Belle]

Received this book as a gift recently. It was written by Arthur Herman..."The True Story of
How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything In It".
Fascinating!..It contains lots of facts that are common knowledge, but also stuff that I either didn't know or had forgotten. For instance, an Edinburgh wig maker's apprentice, Allan Ramsay, started the first lending library in Britain. Haven't finished it yet.
