Recenzje

'This book offers a refreshing view of the Nordic countries from an Anglo-American outlook … the author deserves praise for presenting both the pros and cons of the Nordic Model … as a cultural appetizer and an introduction to Nordic values and aspirations, it is a valuable and enjoyable read.' Atle Midttun, Scandinavian Studies
