Ebook: Northern World: The History and Heritage of Northern Europe

This fascinating book examines the origins of the peoples of northern Europe, of the cross-cultures which developed around the North Sea and the Baltic rather than around the Mediterranean. Germans and Anglo-Saxons, Picts, Scots, Irish, Welsh, Scandinavians, and Northern Slavs all met and mingled in the chill northern reaches of Europe, righting, trading, settling, intermarrying, and influencing one another—and our own lives—to an extent that is only being truly appreciated today.
