This book describes this island of fire and ice which is located in the North Atlantic and which is today populated sparsely by descendants of Viking settlers. All books of the critically-acclaimed Cultures of the World? series ensure an immersive experience by offering vibrant photographs with descriptive nonfiction narratives, and interactive activities such as creating an authentic traditional dish from an easy-to-follow recipe. Copious maps and detailed timelines present the past and present of the country, while exploration of the art and architecture help your readers to understand why diversity is the spice of Life.
This book serves as a fine introduction to a great country. In introducing my friends to Iceland I kept checking this out of the library. I kept extending the checkout time for four months because the photographs were so good. The photos capture the normal day-to-day life in Iceland. Don't let the recommended age scare you. Most of those who leafed through this book were adults. I found that not one person was disappointed in it in any way. This book would also serve as a good memory guide after your trip to Iceland.
