Historical Atlas of the Celtic World

[Sìle]

Not sure if any here would be interested, but ...

I don’t know how long this will be available but you just have to go and have a look now! This PDF book is available for download from Eso Ursi Garden and it’s a beautiful book.

The remarkable Celtic culture once encompassed most of western Europe; even after centuries of invasion and conquest it flourished in remote corners of the continent. This book is a beautifully illustrated survey of Celtic society, its history and belief, from its origins to the present day.

This book traces the development of Celtic religion and mythology, and describes the flowering of their unique metalwork, sculpture, and illumination. An expertly crafted view into the Celtic past, while emphasising the relevance of Celtic culture and identity today.

Go to the Garden now!

erm... isn't that stealing? (not to look a gift horse and all that)

I've looked through that site, they have hundreds of books up there in PDF format. I'm sure it's dodgy.

Saying that, I did click on the link, and the PDF opened up, so I guess it's too late. eep! (nice book)

If it's dodgy, it's a *LOT* of effort and I would have thought it would have been picked up long before it got that many books up. I don't know.

What I do know is it's got a helluva lot of interesting stuff.

well, I just wondered because:

1) Its just a blog
2) It is a simple job to scan a book. Hard work, yeah, but hardly rocket science.
3) quote "If you are the original owner of the copyright of a text or picture here in this blog - and you do not want me to use it - just let me know. I will clear it up immediately. "

I doubt he/she has the author's permission to post the text.

Anyhow, not being a killjoy, just pointing it out. People can make an informed decision then.

Ooops, missed that. Just quickly scanned through a few parts of the booklist.
