Hamish Henderson lived one of the great lives of twentieth-century Scotland, a dramatic life of epic European scale, a life of major artistic, political and spiritual achievement. Well-known as a songwriter, a poet and a pioneer in the field of Scottish folksong, Henderson was also a highly original translator of poetry - from Gaelic, French, German, Latin and Greek - much of it into Scots. He also translated the work of the Italian socialist Antonio Gramsci, whose Prison Letters he published in English in 1974. Born in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, in 1919, Hamish Henderson spent his early years in Glenshee before moving to Ireland and then Devon. He won a scholarship to Dulwich College and went on to study Modern Languages at Cambridge. During the Second World War he served in North Africa and Italy with the 51st Highland Division. He died in March 2002. This book, a major study of this charismatic and fascinating man, presents both a detailed biography and an assessment of his place in the context of the twentieth century. It is based on first-hand interviews with those who knew Henderson both personally and professionally as well as detailed research of published and unpublished sources.

From the Sahara Desert to the undersea world of Atlantis to the picturesque town of Providence, Rhode Island, Hamish X and his friends Mimi and Parveen prepare for the final battle with the scourge of children everywhere-the evil Grey Agents of the ODA (Orphan Disposal Agency). Only then will the mysteries of Hamish, his boots, and his past finally be revealed.

Keep Moving is an artist's book by Hamish Fulton, the British "walking artist." At the core of Fulton's practice are the experiences he accumulates during his perambulations, which he records in photographs, pictograms and texts. The exploration of self and the encounter with nature become one and the same. Keep Moving resulted from a period of time the artist spent in the Corvara region of the Dolomites in the summer of 2004, during which he went on eight day-long walks and a guided climb, using a small mountain hut as his base. Contributing an essay here is legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner, with whom Fulton hiked the imagined trail followed by Ötzi the Iceman, whose 5,000-year-old skeleton was recently discovered in the South Tyrol.

Hamish is a Highland cow and very hairy. He hates having baths and never cuts his hair. Why should he when his shaggy coat is the perfect place to keep his favourite sweet - toffees! But one day his friends get fed up with the increasingly smelly Hamish, and they hatch a plan that involves a hairdresser and, yes, toffees!

For over 40 years British artist Hamish Fulton has been transforming walks intoworks of art. From Soho to Saskatchewan, from his home in Kent to the peaks ofNepal, he has trekked, hiked and trudged the world in solitude covering between30 and 50 miles a day, depending on the terrain, in all weathers. His walks allover the world, conveyed in wall drawings and images, photographs and objects,quietly protest the excesses of urbanization in a sympathetic but uncompromisingway. Walking Transformation, the new exhibition catalog documenting thenucleus of the recent exhibition at Villa Merkel in Esslingen, chronicles hiswalks in Tibet and India. With essays by writers Andreas Baur, Freddy Langer,and Tina Plokarz and illustrated with 30 color plates of works and installationsfrom the exhibition.

366pp, pictorial hardback, New, signed by the editor, Deziree Wilson. The multi-award winning book The Fox of Glencoe chronicles the adventures of the legendary Hamish MacInnes and his achievements in the field of mountaineering. Throughout this rich collection of tales, Hamish's unorthodox character and pragmatic approach to risk and loss are conveyed with wry, elegant style, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of the greatest mountaineers of our time. Few people cram as much into a lifetime as Hamish did, and these memoirs reflect his restless curiosity and ability to marshal loyalty and support for the most outlandish schemes. The result is an eclectic array of tales that include youthful and historic first ascents; a disorganised attempt on Everest with only £40 and a borrowed tent; hunting for treasure in South America; dangling film stars from DIY contraptions off the North Face of the Eiger; hot air ballooning off Ben Nevis; and much else besides. Tenacious and inventive by nature, Hamish also committed much of his life to developing modern alpinism and promoting mountain safety and rescue. His legacy is vividly brought to life in this collection of unseen and retold stories, images and additional narratives from some of his closest friends. A portrait of a life lived to the full, The Fox of Glencoe captures a bygone age and will strike a chord with anyone with a spirit of adventure.

This is the second of Hamish Brown's classic trio of outdoor books, with a new introduction, appendices and two sections of color pictures taken during the marathon venture. First published thirty years ago, this wonderful period piece tells the story of what happened after Hamish's Mountain Walk when Hamish took to the outdoors and writing full time. With his faithful companion, the Shetland collie Storm, he wandered from John O'Groats to Land's End over 175 days in 1979, taking the first ever walk between the highest summits of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland besides completing a sixth round of the Munros, canoe-running the River Forth, and traversing many of the best hills in the four countries. This book has been carefully revised but remains the same vivid journal of a journey, with day-to-day snapshots of people and places, of history and legend, to which is now added an historical perspective, a picture of these islands in 1979, before mobile phones or the internet. Notes on various sections which attract `records', like the Pennine Way, or John O'Groats to Lands End, have been updated, but Hamish's story stands alone with an inimitable mix of his experience, erudition and enthusiasm.
