This cultural and environmental history sweeps across the dramatic North Atlantic landscape, exploring its unusual geology, saga narratives, language, culture, and politics and analyzing its emergence as a distinctive and symbolic part of Europe. The book closes with a discussion of Iceland's modern whaling practices and its recent financial collapse.

Boasting to be a complete guide of late 19th-century Iceland travel, Guide to Iceland: A Handbook for Travellers and Sportsmen provides a look at the island nation's offerings from 1882. Offering chapters detailing Iceland's history, sporting opportunities, politics, scenic roads and more, author William George Lock took great care in highlighting the country's best assets.

Focusing on Iceland's shifting, continually manufactured present, not its stereotypical past, the contributors in this spirited volume look at the changing images of Iceland as well as at the forces critical for this change: the chaotic flow of images and identities in the global context, cultural constructions of gender and landscape, the politics of custom and history, and the plurality of viewpoints.

Complete with photographs of Icelandic landscapes, €A Holiday in Iceland€is a travelogue of the writer's time in the island country during the summer.
