Reviews
The present book [...] is a model study in historical research; without doubt the fruit of several years of painstaking archival work on both sides of the North Sea, involving different languages and cultures. It is to be highly recommended to anyone interested in the intimate working mechanisms of the eighteenth-century Atlantic economy."
Philipp Robinson Rössner, University of Leipzig, Germany (Journal of Economic History, 2010: 773-775).
"(... Evans and Rydén) give those of us who do not read Swedish access to material we could not otherwise study, Their research in primary sources has been very extensive."
Robert B. Gordon, Technology and Culture 51 (2010) 756-757.
"Baltic iron in the Atlantic world in the eighteenth century är en mycket läsvärd bok. (...) Evans och Rudén har därtill en elegant prosa och texten kompletteras av fina illustrationer. (...) Sammanfattningsvis lyckas mycket bra med att skapa en förstaelse av det komplexa system som järnhanteringen var och som länkade en liten by i Norduppland med befästa städer pa den afrikanska kusten."
Fredrik Sandgren, Historik Tidskrift 3 (2009) 571-573.
