How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World and Everything In It by Arthur Herman

5.0

Ahead of my upcoming trip to Scotland, I found this book to provide an engaging discussion of both the internal history of the country and its immense influence on the world. Learning about the contributions of its culture and ideals to the founding of the United States was particularly interesting. I know that when I hear news in the future about nationalist developments in Scotland, I’ll have a greater appreciation of the history behind the underlying arguments.
