| "Ladakh or 'Little Tibet' is a wildly beautiful desert land up in the Western Himalayas It is a place of few resources and an extreme climate Yet for more than a thousand years it has been home to a thriving culture Traditions of frugality and cooperation coupled with an intimate and location-specific knowledge of the environment enabled the Ladakhis not only to survive but to prosper Everyone had enough to eat; families and communities were strong; the status of women was high Then came 'development' Now in the modern sector one finds pollution and divisiveness inflation and unemployment intolerance and greed Centuries of ecological balance and social harmony are under threat from pressures of Western consumerism Ancient Futures is much more than a book about Ladakh Passionately argued it raises important questions about the whole notion of progress and explores the root causes of the malaise of industrial society At the same time the story of Ladakh serves as a source of inspiration for our own future It shows us that another way is possible and points to some of the first steps towards kinder gentler patterns of living"

| "Culloden by John Prebble (Paperback, 2002)" |
| "This is the story of ordinary men and women involved in the Rebellion who were described on the gaol registers and regimental rosters of the time as 'Common Men' There is little in this book about Bonnie Prince Charlie and other principals of the last Jacobite Rising of 1745 Culloden recalls them by name and action presenting the battle as it was for them describing their life as fugitives in the glens or as prisoners in the gaols and hulks their transportation to the Virginias or their deaths on the gallows at Kennington Common The book begins in the rain at five o'clock on the morning of Wednesday 16 April 1746 when the Royal Army marched out of Nairn to fight the clans on Culloden Moor It is not a partisan book its feeling is for the 'Common Men' on both sides - John Grant charging with Clan Chatten and seeing the white gaiters of the British infantry suddenly as the east wind lifted the cannon smoke and Private Andrew Taylor in a red coat waiting for Clan Chatten to reach him likening them to 'a troop of hungry wolves' Culloden reminds us too that many of the men who harried the glens as ruthlessly as the Nazis in Occupied Europe were in fact Scots themselves It recalls the fact that many men in Prince Charles' army had been forced to join him It shows that a British foot-soldier's wish for a sup of brandy on a cold morning before battle is as much a reality as a Prince's pretensions to a throne The detail for the story told in Culloden has come from regimental Order Books and manuals from contemporary newspapers and magazines from the letters and memoirs of soldiers and officers eye-witness accounts of atrocity and persecution and the personal stories of the victims themselves Culloden is the story not of a Prince but of a people"
