{"product_id":"scotlands-nostradamus-andrew-mckenzie-9781916846449","title":"Scotland's Nostradamus: A Quest for the Brahan Seer","description":"This is the first comprehensive study of Coinneach Odhar Mackenzie, the celebrated Highland Seer, and is the result of years of first-hand research surrounding the author's own family's history. McKenzie argues that this figure was the product of a patchwork of oral storytelling traditions that thrived in the Highlands, but was initially based on Michael Scot, the Borders born mathematician and astrologer who moved to Sicily in the early 1200s and became scientific adviser to the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. The Battle of Culloden, the Highland Clearances, mass-emigration and industrialisation - all those major changes that the Brahan Seer was purported to have predicted- had a huge impact in society in the same way that modern conspiracy theories have had around more recent disasters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew McKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916846440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916846449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unicorn Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 6.51w x 0.66d","brand":"Andrew McKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431507579135,"sku":"9781916846449","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f7ac820-5cb8-409f-8078-65e1b68cd98f.jpg?v=1735141545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scotlands-nostradamus-andrew-mckenzie-9781916846449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
