In this richly illustrated book, Lagerqvist provides an engrossing account of the history of Sweden from the end of the Ice Age - when the first hunters arrived in the wake of the melting ice sheet - to the age of advanced technology in which we now live. The author also traces the development of Sweden from a monarchy where immense power lay in the hands of the nobility to our own popular democracy, from a poor, agrarian society to a modern industrial nation on the threshold of the post-industrial information society.
