  This guide covers Sweden in its 29 detailed itineraries and forms a picture of Swedish life and culture today as shaped by the history of the land which is mirrored in its runestones, medieval churches, Renaissance castles and its rich industrial heritages. Modern Swedish society is set against the backdrop of wild untamed spaces, mighty rivers, vast forests, plunging waterfalls and the mysterious world of the Sami people of Lapland. All this is complemented by introductory essays, detailed practical information, black and white photographs and town and city plans.
