The Lost Shankly Boy is an enthralling tale of triumph over adversity and hope amid despair. It tells the story of George Scott, a poor boy from a fishing village in Aberdeen, who dreamed of a career in football and ended up rubbing shoulders with one of the game's managerial greats, Bill Shankly. He would assemble a team to rival the famous 'Busby Babes' - his very own 'Shankly Boys'. With Tommy Smith and Chris Lawler already at the club, he would add Gordon Wallace, Bobby Graham and a 15-year-old George Scott - 'the lost Shankly Boy'. Scott provides a fascinating insight into modern Liverpool's formative years and Shankly's Anfield. His is an untold story of a dream crushed and of a career rebuilt in Scottish football and taken to new heights in the South African Premier League. The Lost Shankly Boy speaks to every kid who dreams of football glory. It is a never-say-die tale of passion, commitment and hard work that will resonate with anyone who has ever tasted the pain of rejection - only to rise again and grow stronger.

A unique presentation by the calligrapher Tom Gourdie of a selection of Burns' best-loved works. It aims to reflects a delight in life, nature and people which was always the substance of Burns' poems.

Robert Burns (1759-96) was born into a farming family in Ayrshire, Scotland. The publication in 1786 of his first book, Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish dialect, made him famous overnight, and saw him feted by Edinburgh society. But Burns made no money from his writing and quickly fell on hard times, returning to farming in Dumfries and, when that failed, to work as an excise officer. He devoted his final years to poetry and the writing of Scottish songs.

The Scottish poet Robert Burns has been idolised and eulogised. He has been sainted, painted, tarted up and toasted. He is famous as the author of 'Auld Lang Syne', and he has long since become the patron saint of the heart-sore and the hung-over.

Immunochemical techniques have been in use for many years with early examples of bacterial strain typing dating back to the 1940s. The basis for the science is the exquisite elegance of the mammalian immune system with its ability to recognize foreign proteins and to manufacture antibody m- ecules that strongly bind to the substances that elicited them. Not only are potentially harmful pathogens and toxins recognized by the immune system, but the system can be persuaded to manufacture antibodies to an astonishing array of substances. In the early days of this science, all antibodies for investigative work were produced by immunizing mammals with the substance of interest, followed by regular donor bleeds that yielded antisera. Serum produced in this way yields heterogenic populations of antibody molecules recognizing different epitopes on the target protein, which may be adequate for its intended p- poses, but can also cause problems of crossreactivity. In 1975, Kohler and Milstein reported that spleen cells from immune donor animals could be immortalized, cloned from single cells, and grown in continuous culture. This original work described the method for the production of monoclonal antibodies.

Robert Burns, unumstrittener Nationalpoet der Schotten, hat in seinem kurzen Leben neben berühmten Liebes- und Naturgedichten auch eine Vielzahl an Trinkliedern, Spottversen und Balladen verfasst. In seinem anarchischen Naturell liebte er weniger die feinen Kreise – an scharfzüngiger Kritik wird wahrlich nicht gespart –, sondern suchte Freundschaft und geraden Sinn bei rauen Gesellen in Bauerndörfern, in den Pubs, wo der Whisky so manches Mal in Strömen floss. Derb ist zuweilen der Ton seiner Lieder, skurril und beißend sein Witz. Und so lässt auch Dieter Berdel einen „diafn Schmäh rennen“ – abseitig und pointiert: Robert Burns war nach heutiger Diktion ein Mundartdichter, folgerichtig sind die Nachdichtungen vom typischen Wienerisch der Peripherie getragen. Eigentlich sind es Dichtungen, die für sich stehen, originelle Kunstwerke, neue Gesänge, bei denen spürbar wird, dass der stürmische Wandel der Zeiten vieles nicht zu ändern vermag: Freundschaft und wahre Werte, Rausch und Irrwege, Gezänke und Rebellion … – Und der Duft des Klees in den Highlands vermählt sich schmeichelnd mit dem Odeur von Wiener Vorstadtbeisln.

Robert Burns, der große schottische Poet: ungemein populär zu Lebzeiten, mit ungebrochenem Nachruhm bis heute. Volkstümlich - und trotzdem literarisch hochkarätig. Ein Lyriker von immenser Ausdruckskraft und staunenswerter thematischer Spannweite: Er schrieb innige, doch, wenn's sein mußte, auch recht frivole Liebeslieder; er besang die politische Freiheit ebenso wie die Menschenrechte; doch nicht minder begeistert feierte er auch den schottischen Gerstensaft - den gebrauten wie den gebrannten. The independent spirit of Scotland. Heiko Postma zeichnet ein Portrait des Barden und lebenslangen Herzensbrechers; mit über fünfzig Liedern und Gedichten, Original Scots und neu übersetzt von Heiko Postma.

Zvučné a zpěvné verše, milostné písně, přírodní lyrika a staré balady skotského lidového básníka, který se stal „pěvcem národní hrdosti svého lidu". Vychází po více než 60 letech v Sládkově překladu a nezměněném výboru, který zahrnuje i Burnsovy básně sociálního a politického zaměření. Vydáno k 200. výročí narození Roberta Burnse.
