A book about Edinburgh's impact on the world. The last two thirds were really quite dull from me however I did appreciate what it was conveying. I did learn a lot from it.

Some interesting stuff in here, but hard to see that it would have much appeal unless you have a particular interest in Edinburgh. Some interesting tidbits for fans of Burns, Adam Smith, David Hume etc., but you would have to be a REAL fan to make anything other than an index-led flip worthwhile.
