Sweden

This colorful book is a very good introduction to Sweden. It is divided into seven chapters that cover everything from the geography and history of Sweden, though the arts, politics and everyday life of the modern Swedes. The book is chocked full of color maps and pictures, and ends with an excellent "Mini-Facts at a Glance," which contains a selection of useful facts and figures.This book is very well put together, and makes a great introduction to readers both young and old. My one complaint against this book is that it was published in 1985, which means that in some places its information is out of date. That said, I would still recommend this book as a starting point for anyone interested in learning about Sweden.
