In Eccentric Wealth, Alastair Scott traces the life of Lancashire industrialist Sir George Bullough in this absorbing biography which explores his family's connection with the Hebridean island of Rum, particularly the building of Kinloch Castle, the most intact preserve of Edwardian highliving to be found in Britain. Based on new information, the book offers a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of the great eccentrics of his age, including the Bullough myths and scandals which continue to make extraordinary reading more than a hundred years later.

Along with the 20th Century, traditional income opportunities are quickly fading into the past. Financial futures, especially those of The Little Guy, are clouded and less certain. Working for others, the chances for a real shot at real wealth are slim and highly improbable. Jobs are harder to find, and those of us with a dream are in for some difficult lessons or already broken and scarred. There seems to be roadblocks at every turn. Chunks of the American Dream are slipping away. Blown in with the 21st Century comes a new perspective with a new-age appeal. It smacks of the non-traditional and promises to be out-of-step. Begging to be understood, it can literally change our lives. Wide open for the curious, the open-minded, the knowledge-hungry and the possibility seekers, it can turn roadblocks into stepping stones. Packed with potential, it is rich with time and independence and provides an equal opportunity to level the playing field. It beckons to those who want it all, not afraid to go against the grain and willing to work hard. Blind to our differences, it cares nothing about age or level of education, race or gender or even our personal history of success or failure. Offering realistic options, it can supplement an income, develop a Plan B, enrich a retirement program, launch a new business or simply help gain freedom from debt. Tailor-made for those with a dream, it can take us where we never dreamed we would go.

In the 1980s, George Marcus spearheaded a major critique of cultural anthropology, expressed most clearly in the landmark book Writing Culture, which he coedited with James Clifford. Ethnography through Thick and Thin updates and advances that critique for the late 1990s. Marcus presents a series of penetrating and provocative essays on the changes that continue to sweep across anthropology. He examines, in particular, how the discipline's central practice of ethnography has been changed by "multi-sited" approaches to anthropology and how new research patterns are transforming anthropologists' careers. Marcus rejects the view, often expressed, that these changes are undermining anthropology. The combination of traditional ethnography with scholarly experimentation, he argues, will only make the discipline more lively and diverse. The book is divided into three main parts. In the first, Marcus shows how ethnographers' tradition of defining fieldwork in terms of peoples and places is now being challenged by the need to study culture by exploring connections, parallels, and contrasts among a variety of often seemingly incommensurate sites. The second part illustrates this emergent multi-sited condition of research by reflecting it in some of Marcus's own past research on Tongan elites and dynastic American fortunes. In the final section, which includes the previously unpublished essay "Sticking with Ethnography through Thick and Thin," Marcus examines the evolving professional culture of anthropology and the predicaments of its new scholars. He shows how students have increasingly been drawn to the field as much by such powerful interdisciplinary movements as feminism, postcolonial studies, and cultural studies as by anthropology's own traditions. He also considers the impact of demographic changes within the discipline--in particular the fact that anthropologists are no longer almost exclusively Euro-Americans studying non-Euro-Americans. These changes raise new issues about the identities of anthropologists in relation to those they study, and indeed, about what is to define standards of ethnographic scholarship. Filled with keen and highly illuminating observations, Ethnography through Thick and Thin will stimulate fresh debate about the past, present, and future of a discipline undergoing profound transformations.

Sullivan makes the case for geography as a powerful conceptual framework for seeing the everyday anew and for pushing back against its "givenness" its capacity to so fade into the background that it controls us in dangerously unexamined ways. He ranges across time, space, history, Marxian reproduction, the body, and the geographical mind.
