Does anyone have any book recommendations concerning the culture, society, or archaeology of the Atlantic, Italian, or perhaps Nordic Bronze Age (such as the Nuragic, Proto-Villanovan, or Urnfield cultures)?
I highly recommend The Making of the Middle Sea: A History of the Mediterranean from the Beginning to the Emergence of the Classical World by Cyprian Broodbank for an overview of Bronze Age Italy and the western Mediterranean.
Claudia Sagona's The Archaeology of Malta is also well worth a look. All of the books in the "Cambridge World Archaeology" series are excellent.
