About This Item
Bekking Publishers, Amersfoort, The Netherlands 1994 Hardcover, 23½cms x 17½cms, with illustrated board covers Book in VERY GOOD condition Second edition. There is no other European country in which nature, and especially water, has played such an important part as the Netherlands. The need to control water was always foremost in the minds of the Dutch, then as it is now. It isn't surprising that this area has been a target of attack from all quarters - Romans, Franks, Burgundians, and finally the Hapsburgs - have left their marks on the local culture. This book gives an outline of the history of the Netherlands from prehistory until about 1450 and then, in increasing detail, the various significant periods including up to 1813, when the present kingdom was established, until the present time. A beautifully illusted book with many colour plates.
