{"product_id":"to-see-ourselves-alistair-moffat-9781780279473","title":"To See Ourselves: A Personal History of Scotland Since 1950","description":"Since 1945 the world has changed at breakneck speed, and life in post-war Scotland is now entirely different from what it was like when Alistair Moffat grew up in the quiet Border town of Kelso in the 1950s. At that time the rhythms and practicalities of daily life which had remained constant for many generations were about to change in the most unimaginable ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book about these changes - many of which have been dizzying and disorientating - and how they have affected each and every one of us in all parts of the country. The main themes, such as housing, healthcare, sport, the media, the arts and entertainment, urban and country life, our relationship with the environment, politics, religion and education, are all viewed through the lens of personal experience. Alistair's own recollections of big events and small, together with other eyewitness accounts, bring these decades alive in a way that no ordinary history can with a directness and poignancy that underlines how much has been gained - and how much lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alistair Moffat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780279477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780279473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birlinn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alistair Moffat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974643962111,"sku":"9781780279473","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6de83bdc-b2c9-4331-8eab-79857af22f2c.jpg?v=1750875636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-see-ourselves-alistair-moffat-9781780279473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
