Any man will sign a note for a thousand dollars if a revolver is held against his head... The law, however, will not hold him for the payment of the note, on the ground that it was signed under duress. A man convinced by the sheer force of logic is likely to avoid the very action, which would seem to be the only natural result of the conviction thus secured. This situation is expressed by the familiar proverb, "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." -from "An Analysis of Deliberation" The business applications of psychology are endless: whether you’re tying t

The action of The Pirate takes place in Shetland and Orkney in the last years of the seventeenth century. The plot hinges on an illicit relationship and is dominated by obsessed women and dark men twisted by their criminality. The new edition does not change the story, but in its return to the manuscript it recovers the underlying pattern, and exhibits not only Scott’s considerable knowledge of northern history, but his extraordinary grasp of the literature of the north.

Chronicles of the Canongate consists of three tragic tales of cultural conflict: "The Highland Widow," "The Two Drovers," and "The Surgeon’s Daughter." The first two are recognised as among the greatest of Scott’s achievements; the last is his almost unknown critique of British imperialism. This is the first time since its appearance in 1827 that the work has been published in the form Scott intended, and the recovery of the original design reveals a deliberate parallelism: set in the third quarter of the eighteenth century all three tales are studies of "racial" misunderstanding.

Excerpt from book: INTRODUCTION When the author projected this further encroachment on the patience of an indulgent public, he was at some loss for a title; a good name being very nearly of as much consequence in literature as in life. The title of Rob Roy was suggested by the late Mr. Constable, whose sagacity and experience foresaw the germ of popularity which it included. No introduction can be more appropriate to the work than s
