5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended,
By Martina Sprague (Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norway in Pictures (Visual Geography (Twenty-First Century)) (Hardcover)
This book contains some stunning photographs that tell a story of the country and the Norwegian people. The fast facts and other tidbits of information about the geography, the people, politics and social issues made this an easy and educational read. This book is highly recommended for those intending to visit Norway, and particularly for those with distant ties to the Scandinavian countries.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very Disappointed,
By Hedy Holmberg (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norway in Pictures (Visual Geography (Twenty-First Century)) (Hardcover)
Our church partners with a nursing home to give Christmas gifts to the residents. A women requested a Norwegian Landscape Picture Book. After doing a diligent search I settled on this book. The title, Norway in Pictures, Visual Geography, and photograph on the cover led me to believe that the book was full of stunning pictures of the countryside, cities, farms, mountains, and fjords, The book has photographs on most of the pages, some of them are of the landscape, others are of people, a few on the visual arts. The photographs are good, but nothing outstanding. With a country as beautiful as Norway this book did not do it justice. The book was very disappointing and I am surmising that the lady who will be receiving this gift will be sorely disappointed as well. Sadly, there is no time to select another book; had there been time, I would have returned this one immediately.
