Byron J. Nordstrom, '65
Scandinavia Since 1500. Hardcover, 400 pages; University of Minnesota Press, October 2000; ISBN: 0-8166-2098-9.
Byron Nordstrom, professor of history and Scandinavian studies at Gustavus Adolphus College, is also editor of the Dictionary of Scandinavian History.
From Amazon.com's editorial review: "Structuring his history along the traditional lines of European chronology -- Renaissance, Early Modern, Modern, and Contemporary -- Nordstrom brings a distinctly 20th-century perspective to his work. He shows how religions, political ideas, economic practices, intellectual movements, and technological innovations have come to Scandinavia from abroad only to be modified and recast in a uniquely Nordic character."
