A unique collaboration between Historic Environment Scotland and the University of Glasgow has resulted in this lavishly illustrated book about the University’s architectural history. For over 560 years the University has acted as a remarkable patron of architecture. Employing the finest architects, engineers and craftsmen of the day to realise its ambitions, Building Knowledge: An Architectural History of the University of Glasgow unearths the extraordinary record of these partnerships. Appealing to a wide audience this is a prestigious publication which celebrates some of Glasgow's most recognisable buildings. Much of the material in this fascinating book has never been published before, showcasing the results of a 2011-12 partnership project with the University of Glasgow to review of all the listed and non-listed buildings on their Gilmorehill campus. As a result of the project there were 3 new listings and 48 existing listed building records were updated, providing more information about why these buildings are so special.

This book considers the politics of patronage appointments at the universities in Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews. Emerson explores the ways in which 388 men secured posts in three Scottish universities between 1690 and 1806; from the purge following the Revolution of 1688 to the end of Henry Dundas's political career. Most professors were political appointees vetted and supported by political factions and their leaders.
