    The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint

    On 4 November 2019, Luath Press published Harrison’s first book. Inspired by her 2016 โ€˜durational performanceโ€™ The Glasgow Effect – for which she refused to travel beyond Glasgowโ€™s city limits, or use any vehicles except her bike, for the whole calendar year – the book provides the complete context for her thinking and action. (Word count: 119,000)

Terrific book. Very readable and so interesting. All your answers to why things (often not great) happen in Glasgow.

If you care about Glasgow read this book.

I finally finished it! An online comprehensive Bibliography for the Book. I hope it's useful: glasgoweffect.ellieharrison.com/bibliography/
