  Coming from a series that provides an introduction to the countries of the world, this book features the Netherlands. It describes some of the main feats of engineering undertaken to keep back the sea, and to increase the land of this small country. It also describes the more relaxed aspects of the Dutch life-style: their emphasis on the home and on the family, and their religious and moral tolerance. Other topics covered include history, festivals and the arts.
