Crucible of Nations by Adrián Maldonado
One of the most significant collections of Viking-age and early medieval artefacts in the world is housed at National Museums Scotland. This book offers new perspectives on star objects, many never before seen in public, as part of the third The Glenmorangie Company Research Project.'.. Maldonado has created an engaging and essential read for anyone with an interest in Vikings and the early development of Scotland.' Antiquity
' … Written in an accessible style that is nonetheless full of interesting detail and thought-provoking theories and ideas, this is a stunning book for anyone interested in the early medieval period and the Viking age in these islands.' Archaeology Ireland
' … I can think of no other work ion this period that can match the excellence of the 280 photographs and images, nor the skill with which they were selected and worked into the analysis across the book's 256 pages.' Current Archaeology
' … Crucible of Nations succeeds in what was surely its primary aim, to assert the complexity of an oft-overlooked period, its significance in the formation of Scotland as a nation, and the potential for material objects to illuminate an understanding of this time.' Peregrinations
' … The book is marvellous in terms of visual beauty itself but also in terms of Maldonado's lucid and imaginative approach. A talented communicator, his insight is that of a scholar of early medieval archaeology and material culture, but one well versed in some of the most up-to-date literature produced by text-oriented historians.' Early Medieval Europe
