This book provides a comprehensive history of the Celts, supported by accurate, detailed maps demonstrating the movements of the people and the major military campaigns and conflicts of the Celts, with engaging, informative text.  The Celts made a significant contribution to the world's art and culture, and many European cultures continue to be influenced by their Celtic origins, with Celtic languages still spoken in parts of the British Isles, Ireland, and France.  This book examines that unique legacy.

5.0 out of 5 stars History with Pictures
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2011
Verified Purchase
The pages in the book are very large, 10 X 13, which allows for large, clear maps. It is a history book with maps and pictures, good as a suppliment to other historical texts, or as an overview of a long range of historical events. Each topic receives a page or two of text along with a map and sometimes some beautiful photos. Celts in many countries are written about, including Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Brittany, as well as some of the places to which they emmegrated. There are also chapters about Celtic culture including Irish Leprechauns and Cornish Pixies. It is an interesting, diverse text with colorful maps, published in 2009.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately the text size makes this version a difficult read, but otherwise...
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017
I really like this book, purchased from the Barnes and Noble sales bin, and I think it's one of the most informative out there on this period in European history. It has lots of large scale multi colored maps (130+) which clearly show people/trade, etc. movement, not always a given even in a book referred to as an Atlas, there's even maps and descriptions of battles fought. This book is also structured around short chapters, each dealing with some historic event or subject, which helps greatly with the attention span and learning process. But unfortunately the text is only about 1/16 inch high throughout making extended reading a bit tiresome. How could this happen ? But if you still have the eyes of an eagle and are able to deal with this and want to have at hand a first class reference on Celtic times, or perhaps you just like to own beautiful books, then go for it. I will be ordering the Hardcover version which is much larger and will I hope have text I can read comfortably. A few incorrect facts, (but isn't this the norm with books of such detail and range), which others note won't affect me at all as I'm only trying to locate the celts, (and all the other cast of characters, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, etc), in their place in world history in order to grasp the bigger picture. Trust me, even if you notice them, this book rises well above its faults and is perfect for the modern reader.

The pictures are pretty. Beyond that, the other reviews are correct. The printing in my copy is a light grey rather than black. Very difficult to read. I've seen the hardback version, and it did not suffer from that problem. In hardback, the book isn't totally without value as a broad overview of the Celtic world in ancient times though it isn't worth the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Still worthy--- warts and all
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2015
I actually like this book in spite of the obvious typos as others have mentioned. It is a very different look at the spread of Celtic tradition and some of the maps I have not see elsewhere in any incarnation. Its not perfect but if you can get this for a few bucks do not miss the opportunity. I think it is a mistake to discard this as being of poor or little value. Its actually a book I would love to see revised bringing it up to date with new archaeological finds and correcting previous errors. Each map has a 2-4 page written introduction. They are very extensive including such intriguing titles as the Scots in Canada, Irish regiments in WWI , Roman Conquest of Britain, Celtic Scotland, Iberian Celts, Celtic Trade etc. My copy is a paperback edition and the maps are clear and very readable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Marred by horrific typos and non-editing
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2012
As an earlier reviewer noted, this large, handsome book is unfortunately plagued by what I believe is the absolute worst job of copy editing and proofreading I have ever seen from a mainstream book publisher. At first, I wondered if the sloppy grammar and uneven sentence constructions were the result of a poor translation, but I see only English-speaking names connected with this title, including a couple of so-called editors who should hang their heads in shame and have their red pencils snapped in front of their eyes. The production problems with this book go beyond poor writing skills (although that is bad enough); without even trying very hard, I found all sorts of misspelled proper names, terms, place names; inconsistent terminology (even within the same section/page); dates with transposed numbers; and even the maps are littered with similar mistakes, such as items in the key that are not to be found on the map (and vice-versa), misspellings, and graphic elements out of place or missing (e.g., national borders that suddenly stop in mid-map).

There are nice photographs, and some useful information is presented, but given the lapses and inaccuracies and general unreliability of this volume, I'd say only pick it up if it's in the remainders bin where it belongs. There is a similar title out there that's got to be a better buy than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you want a coffee table, better go to Ikea
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2010
Bought in haste at a reduced price when Borders were closing down, I dipped into this LARGE, handsome book for the first time today and found a book execrably written in terms both of English and historical narrative. Some of the text is gibberish (The editing/proof reading is in places laughable). Moreover, having looked up the author on the internet, the book has been written by someone who does appears not to include anything approaching what we might call Celtic Studies in his area of expertise. I am no Celtic expert but when checking a few sections on subjects with which I am familiar (e.g. Pre- Sub- and Post-Roman Britain; Norse-Gaelic culture) I found the treatment to be unreliable and outdated. Two words should sum this up for those interested: 'Picts' & 'Galloway'. Naturally, this does not give me confidence in the author's treatment of subjects with which I am less familiar.

Designed to look expensive and appeal to the many people attracted by the 'Celtic' label, this book is, in my opinion neither a suitable introduction for beginners nor a satisfying reference book for the more informed. These products are never going

Ironically, while the Atlas rested on the coffee table, I inadvertently spilt coffee all over it. Perhaps this was an unconscious comment on the book's worth.
