Scotland Through the Ages

Library Journal

This lavishly illustrated book, with mostly color photographs, is a visual delight. For the general reader with only a passing knowledge of the Scottish past, the text serves as an adequate guide. Jenner writes in a facile fashion, but his narrative (and brief bibliography) suggests unfamiliarity with recent trends and interpretations in Scottish history. Yet he clearly is writing for a popular audience, so libraries serving the general reading public will want to obtain this. Not for college or specialized collections. James A. Casada, Winthrop Coll . , Rock Hill, S.C.
