Iceland
This, the only comprehensive history of Iceland available in English, provides an informative overview of the nation's development from the Viking Age to the present. This erudite, impeccably researched volume meets a long-standing need for a detailed, scholarly, comprehensive, and authoritative history of Iceland in English, from its earliest human settlement to the present. Written by one of Iceland's premier historians and a professor at its national university, this will no doubt become the standard, definitive work on Iceland far into the future. Attractively produced and thoroughly indexed, it will serve as a useful reference work and is written in a felicitous style that is eminently readable for any general reader interested in the history of this remarkable nation. Recommended for all academic libraries as well as public ones with a clientele interested in the Scandinavian peoples.
