As the pound increasingly seems to be nearing the end of its 1000-year life, STERLING serves as a timely and very readable biography. A history, biography and basic economic primer all in one, STERLING details the pound's modest medieval infancy, its world dominance in middle age and possible eclipse by the Euro as it approaches its millennium. The pound has created and destroyed fortunes, impoverished or enriched whole sections of society and made or unmade monarchs and governments. Beautifully illustrated by an eight page colour plate section, STERLING provides a fascinating background to the currently raging currency debate.
