Book Review of How The Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It

Basically a series of mini-biographies, mostly covering the time after the union of 1707. I think it gives short shrift to the real reason that the Scots created so much, the legislation of universal education in the 1600s.
