1. THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL The Life and Legacy of Patrick Geddes

129pp, 8pp colour plates, 26 b/w illustrations, pub Luath Press. £10.99
ISBN 1-84282-079-6

Published to coincide with the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Geddes on 2 October 2004, this is an impressionistic examination of PG's life, influence and how that influence has waxed and waned - or waned and waxed. Obviously, earlier sources have been drawn upon, but 'Think Global...' is not just a rehash of 'other men's flowers' nor is it merely 'cheap and cheerful'. There are some new angles and re-emphases and there are quite definite contributions to knowledge.

Virtually all the illustrations were specially created for the book, or had not appeared in print before in any reasonably accessible text. The contributors have made over their authorial rights to the Trust.

The contents are as follows:
Think Global, Act Local - Walter Stephen
Patrick Geddes - the Life - Walter Stephen
Finding Geddes Abroad - Sofía Leonard
Patrick Geddes: Environment and Culture - Murdo Macdonald
Patrick Geddes: Regional Survey and Education - A Historical Perspective to the 1970s - Kenneth Maclean
A Letter from India - Narayani Gupta
Patrick Geddes - the Legacy - Walter Stephen

3. THE GEDDES STUDENT PRIZE

The Geddes Awards for Environmental Excellence and Enterprise.

24 pp, pub PGMT, 50p

Over the years, The Trust has sponsored various schemes seeking to engage students in thinking about Geddes and how to tackle issues which would have engaged him, had he been alive today. This occasional paper looks at the Geddes' Awards for a number of years and publishes brief reports from the successful students.
This paper demonstrates the wide effect of Geddes's thought on new generations and it is a useful aid to learning about how today's young people think about major issues.

4. FABRIC AND FUNCTION

A century of School Building in Edinburgh 1872-1972

118 pp, 48 b/w photographs, 12 b/w illustrations, pub Hills of Home, 1996, £2.50
ISBN 978-0-9555190-1-7

From its origins as a dissertation which won the Research Prize of the Scottish Council for Research in Education in 1979, this study has been extended and updated to take account of change since 1972. Essentially the influences on school building are analysed and then sample schools are examined to show how architects took account of these influences in their designs. Although centred on Edinburgh, there is an assessment of the interplay of local needs and national trends.

As well as an introduction and a conclusion, there are the following chapters:
Roofs over Heads
The Early Board Schools (1872-1890)
The Central Hall and the Drive to Secondary Education (1890-1906)
Health, Hygiene and Finance (1911-1951)
Towards Functionalism (1953-1972)
