description: The various countries and communities that constitute present-day Scandinavia consider themselves as integral parts of that larger region. Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Iceland and Greenland share a common geographic historic and socio-cultural distinctness that differs from the rest of Europe. This distinctness provides the rationale for compiling a comprehensive and comparative history of Scandinavia. The first volume in the series will be followed by two others.
