The Death of Character is a broad historical, sociological, and cultural inquiry into the moral life and moral education of young Americans based upon a huge empirical study of the children themselves. The children's thoughts and concerns-expressed here in their own words-shed a whole new light on what we can expect from moral education. Targeting new theories of education and the prominence of psychology over moral instruction, Hunter analyzes the making of a new cultural narcissism.

World's Most Powerful Leadership Principle
How to Become a Servant Leader
AvJames Hunter

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Author and consultant James Hunter believes that–in the midst of numerous national corporate scandals–leaders must take a fresh look at leadership through the lens of some very ancient principles. Leadership that is authentic and effective is servant leadership–following the principles revealed in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ:“Recently it struck me that if love changes people, which I know it does, it would seem to follow that God is the source of change and growth because He is love. Put another way, when people begin loving others through their efforts and behavior, God has the opportunity to work in the lives of both the giver and the receiver.”In his new book, The World’s Most Powerful Leadership Principle, Hunter demonstrates that leadership and character development are one. But the work, and even the pain, of changing one’s self–breaking old, worn-out habits–is not easy. Hunter provides an uncomplicated, straightforward, three-step change process he has seen successfully employed by literally thousands of leaders to effect change in their lives and organizations and fulfill beneficial goals.This groundbreaking book will open the eyes of frustrated, disheartened leaders at every level and foster change for good at the personal, organizational, and societal level.

Insurrection
Scotland's Famine Winter
AvJames Hunter
Häftad, Engelska, 2022

Skickas
Discover Scotland's forgotten revolution...Longlisted for the Highland Book PrizeWhen Scotland’s 1846 potato crop was wiped out by blight, the country was plunged into crisis. In the Hebrides and the West Highlands a huge relief effort came too late to prevent starvation and death. Further east, meanwhile, towns and villages from Aberdeen to Wick and Thurso, rose up in protest at the cost of the oatmeal that replaced potatoes as people’s basic foodstuff.Oatmeal’s soaring price was blamed on the export of grain by farmers and landlords cashing in on even higher prices elsewhere. As a bitter winter gripped and families feared a repeat of the calamitous famine then ravaging Ireland, grain carts were seized, ships boarded, harbours blockaded, a jail forced open, the military confronted. The army fired on one set of rioters. Savage sentences were imposed on others. But thousands-strong crowds also gained key concessions. Above all they won cheaper food.Those dramatic events have long been ignored or forgotten. Now, in James Hunter, they have their historian. The story he tells is, by turns, moving, anger-making and inspiring. In an era of food banks and growing poverty, it is also very timely.'A gripping, heart-breaking account of the famine winter of 1847' - Rosemary Goring, The Herald

Journey from the Isle of Skye to the Deep South, to the Rockies and beyond.A dance was devised in eighteenth-century Skye. An exhilarating dance. A dance, a visitor reports, 'the emigration from Skye has occasioned'. The visitor asks for the dance’s name. 'They call it America,' he's told.Over a period of three centuries, many thousands of people left the islands and wider north of Scotland to make new lives across the sea. In this new edition of his acclaimed book, historian James Hunter follows in their footsteps – from the Deep South to the Rockies and beyond – to tell the story of the Highland impact on the New World.In doing so, he reveals how soldiers, explorers, guerrilla fighters, fur traders, lumberjacks, railways builders and settlers from Scotland's glens and islands contributed much to the USA and Canada. It is the story of how a hard-pressed people found in North America a land of opportunity.In this edition features a new introduction from James Hunter, where he reflects on what led him to embark on travels and researches that took him across a continent.
Appin Murder
The Killing That Shook a Nation
AvJames Hunter

Skickas
On a hillside near Ballachulish in the Scottish Highlands in May 1752 a rider is assassinated by a gunman. The murdered man is Colin Campbell, a government agent travelling to nearby Duror where he’s evicting farm tenants to make way for his relatives. Campbell’s killer evades capture, but Britain’s rulers insist this challenge to their authority must result in a hanging. The sacrificial victim is James Stewart, who is organising resistance to Campbell’s takeover of lands long held by his clan, the Appin Stewarts.James is a veteran of the Highland uprising crushed in April 1746 at Culloden. In Duror he sees homes torched by troops using terror tactics against rebel Highlanders. The same brutal response to dissent means that James’s corpse will for years hang from a towering gibbet and leave a community utterly ravaged.Introducing this new and updated edition of his account of what came to be called the Appin Murder, historian James Hunter tells how his own Duror upbringing introduced him to the tragic story of James Stewart.

Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the YearThey would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world. But set adrift they were - thousands of them, their communities destroyed, their homes demolished and burned.Such were the Sutherland Clearances, an extraordinary episode, involving the deliberate depopulation of much of a Scottish county. What was done in the course of that episode was planned and carried out by a small group of men and one woman. Most of those involved wrote a great deal about their actions, intentions and feelings, and much of it has been preserved. There are no equivalent collections of material from those whose communities ceased to exist. Their feelings and fears are harder to access, but they are by no means irrecoverable.In this book James Hunter tells the story of the Sutherland Clearances. His researches took him to archives in Scotland, England and Canada, to the now deserted straths of Sutherland, to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay. The result is a gripping, moving, definitive account of a people's struggle for survival in the face of tragedy and disaster which includes experiences which have not featured in any previous such account.

Working People
A Family through Three Centuries

Stonemasons, quarriers, seamen, steam laundry workers, crofters, calico packers, power loom weavers, tinsmiths, gamekeepers, carters, shepherds, coachmen, navvies, domestic servants. These are some of the working people whose lives are uncovered by historian James Hunter when he sets out to explore his own and his wife Evelyn’s family background. It is a quest that spans three centuries and much of Scotland.Many of the lives encountered bring into stark relief the hardship of daily life in times gone by – the women who raise ten or more children; the family that lives in single rooms in a succession of run-down Glasgow tenements; the mother who dies of infection following childbirth; the destitute widow who gets pennies by way of poor relief; and the boy who seeks refuge in an orphanage after being made homeless by his stepmother. Stories of hardship and adversity, yes. But stories, too, of how ordinary women, men and children persevered and got by. The cumulative result is a remarkable tribute to people of a sort who seldom make it – certainly not by name – into standard history books.

This book has been seminal in bringing to the fore the injustices that have been inflicted on the Highlands in the name of government and landlord – injustices often lost in the name of dry statistics and academic balance.Written by a man who has gone on to become both an award-winning historian of the Highlands and a leading figure in the public life of the region, The Making of the Crofting Community has attracted praise, inspired debate, and provoked outrage and controversy over the years. This book remains necessary to challenge standard academic interpretations of the Highland past. Having long been one of the classics of Birlinn’s John Donald list, this revised and updated new edition includes a substantial new preface and an extensive reworking of the existing text.
