Offering a study of the Scottish Enlightenment, this collection of essays deals with the period from 1730 to 1790 - one of the most important in Scotland's history. It was an age when many aspects of mankind's existence - philosophy, economics, art, law, architecture, medicine, engineering - were studied and questioned. It was also a time when Scotland's cities were hotbeds of genius, and Scotsmen such as the philosopher David Hume, the economist Adam Smith, the chemist James Black and the geologist James Hutton developed their ideas and successfully challenged the beliefs of the past.

For ages 3-9... Vanity and a poor self -image may influence our perception of others and ourselves. My aim through this book is to help children understand that their bodies will go through changes, which is a part of their growth process. A child may wish to "grow up now" or "not at all." I encourage young readers to share their feelings with an adult they can trust. A child is not meant to handle things on their own. Mr. Tree liked the way he was and did not want to change. He tried everything to prevent himself from changing, but was unsuccessful. After sharing his feelings with Mr. Bird, he understood he was going through the seasons of his life.
