Book Description
Welcome to the Scottish Renaissance of 2010-16 and to a fitter, smarter, more international, more downright functional Scotland. A time when: * our 12 year olds are some 20% fitter than in 2007 * foreign language proficiency has grown by 700% * Scotland has a crucial new handle on the European Union * rush hour carbon emissions are down by 40% The author shows the tools that have been used to bring this renaissance to fruition and how Scotland found another gear and went from the hesitancy and self-doubt of 2007 to the cover of TIME less than 10 years later.
