A country of contrasts, Sweden's history and its everyday life are described in this lively text. Readers will be fascinated by the dazzling Swedish primary source images that enhance the written material, including photographs of ancient Viking artifacts, red wooden farmhouses, important early automobiles, musicians who enchanted the world, artistic and scientific geniuses who changed the course of history, and much more. |
