The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Vikings
As a basic history book, this probably merits 4*. As a historical atlas though, I give it 3*.
There are some fundamental problems with this book, for example on pp. 30-31 the text refers to events that are best understood using the map on pg. 35, but there is no indication of this...
Some of the other maps, despite being in full colour, are very difficult to follow compared to other Penguin Historical Atlases that I've read in 2 colours. The maps on pg. 63 and pg. 67 of the Viking invasions of England (Mercia, Wessex, etc.) are inconsistent - one overlays the dates/events on the map, while the other puts the dates/events to the side with a letter key. Neither is satisfactory.
So although I found the content to be worthwhile, I felt frustrated with the layout and design decisions.
