The latest title in the much-loved Element Encyclopedia series, The Element Encyclopedia of Celts explores the history, culture, and mythology of these great peoples.

A comprehensive guide of Celtic history and culture, The Element Encyclopedia of the Celts tells the stories of these grand peoples and their way of life, including their heroic gods and goddesses, incredible myths and legends, and their everyday lives through their language, customs, and society. Encompassing their iron-age beginnings, European colonization, the various strands of ‘Celticness’ (race, politics, and culture), as well as the Celtic Tiger of today, this encyclopedia gets to the very heart of Celtic origin and meaning, as well as delving into the cultural and mythical background that draws so many to claim their Celtic roots today.

Including:
The Celtic People and Their Way of Life
Celtic Places
Celtic Religion
Myths, Legends, and Stories
Symbols, Ideas, and Archetypes
Celtic Twilight and Revival

Accompanied by illustrations and maps, which show the spread of Celts across the globe, as well as the symbols of Celtic mythology and religion

It takes awhile to exactly find something you like to read. When you found it get it because I always say come back later then the item is gone, not when it comes to reading. You remember the saying if a child reads their a thinker, it's very true. I love reading in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars ケルトの世界とは…
Reviewed in Japan on September 16, 2014
Verified Purchase
　およそ我々が目を向けることが皆無であろうケルトについてこれほど克明に紹介する本を手にしたことはない。接する機会はいくらでもあったろうがこれが初とはやはり少々、ケルトを忽せにする気持ちがあったことは否めない。
　古代において実に多くのケルト王国が散在していたのがわかる。もちろん王国間の闘争も日常的に頻発していたし、ローマの大勢力との対峙もあったし、ブリテン島ではゲルマン族、バイキング族と果敢に戦っていったのだ。
　現在のイギリスは多民族連合国家であるとの思いを新たにした。現国名からしてそうではないか。今、スコットランド独立が云々されているがこの行く末はどうだろうか。俳優のショーン・コネリーは独立に賛成しているが、当人の名前からしてアングロサクソン人にあらずだとわかる。　とまれ、本書は教師も含め英語に関心ある人なら読むべきであろうと思える。
　少々、気になった箇所は、項目に続く説明が数頁に及ぶものがあるということ。これは著者の思い入れがひとしお強いからではないかと思った。
