Denial anger bargaining depression & acceptance. The five stages of grief first formulated in this hugely influential work forty years ago are now part of our common understanding of bereavement.

Edinburgh & Glasgow enjoy a famously scratchy relationship. Resembling other intercity rivalries throughout the world from Madrid & Barcelona to Moscow & St. Petersburg to Beijing & Shanghai Scotland's sparring metropolises just happen to be much smaller & closer together--like twin stars orbiting a common axis. Yet their size belies their world-historical importance as cultural & commercial capitals of the British Empire & the mere forty miles between their city centers does not diminish their stubbornly individual nature. Robert Crawford dares to bring both cities to life between the covers of one book. His story of the fluctuating fortunes of each city is animated by the one-upping that has been entrenched since the eighteenth century when Edinburgh lost parliamentary sovereignty & took on its proud wistfulness while Glasgow came into its industrial promise & defiance. Using landmarks & individuals as gateways to their character & past this tale of two cities mixes novelty & familiarity just as Scotland's capital & its largest city do. Crawford gives us Adam Smith & Walter Scott the Scottish Enlightenment & the School of Art but also tiny apartments a poetry library Spanish Civil War volunteers & the nineteenth-century entrepreneur Maria Theresa Short. We see Glasgow's best-known street through the eyes of a Victorian child & Edinburgh University as it appeared to Charles Darwin. Crawford's literary detailed account affirms what people from Glasgow or Edinburgh have long doubted--that it is possible to love both cities at the same time. ...
