About the Author:
Modern-day Iceland, a rugged island in the North Atlantic Ocean roughly the size of the state of Ohio, is home to over 300,000 individuals. In the early 19th century, however, Iceland's population had dropped to less than 40,000 as a result of a series of natural disasters and epidemics. At the time, some even wondered if moving the entire population of Iceland off what seemed to a cursed island would have been wise.
Guðni Jóhannesson, PhD, is president of Iceland and historian at the Reykjavík Academy, Iceland. An author of numerous works on Icelandic history and current affairs, he has taught at the University of Iceland and Reykjavík University.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Based upon the most recent research, this thought-provoking, up-to-date survey of the history of Iceland provides unique insight into the challenges facing a small nation in a globalized world.In more recent times, Iceland has faced other major challenges, most notably its economic fall in 2008 when a nationwide failure of its financial systems eroded it from its former position as one of the most developed and wealthiest countries in the world.The History of Iceland describes how a small nation situated on a rocky and isolated island struggled for centuries to survive but then rose to great prosperity in the modern era. The work provides a comprehensive summary of Iceland's history that shares a tale of independence versus interdependenceone that underscores how recent events have forced a people with great pride in their unique heritage to reconsider well-established notions about themselves as a nation.Based on the most recent research, this work is the first comprehensive overview to cover in detail the collapse of Iceland's economy and its subsequent effect on its people. Organized into seven main sections that chronologically cover the history of Iceland from the island's settlement to the present day, the book concludes with a revealing discussion of how each period has been perceived by later generations of Icelanders. Based upon the most recent research, this thought-provoking, up-to-date survey of the history of Iceland provides unique insight into the challenges facing a small nation in a globalized world.
