    [synopsis] => Part of his trilogy on Scottish history, T. M. Devine's “To the Ends of the Earth” is a compelling account of the Scots as a "global people," charting their forgotten role in the building of the modern world.

The Scots are one of the world's greatest nations of emigrants. For centuries, untold numbers of men, women, and children sought their fortunes in every part of the globe, from the British Empire to the United States, in cities and on prairie farms, as traders, bankers, missionaries, soldiers, politicians, and engineers. With “To the Ends of the Earth”, T. M. Devine-acclaimed author of “The Scottish Nation” and “Scotland's Empire”-puts this extraordinary epic center stage in Scottish history, cutting through myth and sentiment surrounding stories such as the Highland Clearances and the Enlightenment to show the true impact of Scottish emigration on the world, and on the nation it left behind.
