Description
Viking sagas come alive through a wealth of photographs, drawings, and maps in this comprehensive exploration of the Viking era. Drawing on history, archaeology, oral tradition, literature, and natural science, the contributors shed new light on the spread of marauders and traders across Europe and into the North Atlantic.
The book reveals that Norse contacts with Native American groups were more extensive than previously believed, but also shows that temporary European settlements in North America were short-lived. A richly illustrated journey through time, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the Viking way of life.
