Description:
In 'World History of the Netherlands', more than a hundred emerging and established Dutch researchers in the field of history and culture tell the global story of our history, including Martine Gosselink, Beatrice de Graaf, Lotte Jensen, Gert Oostindie, Lodewijk Petram and Suze Zijlstra. In this illuminating and stimulating book, they show how the Netherlands has helped shape the world over the centuries, and vice versa: how the Netherlands has developed under the influence of neighbours far and near. From the discovery of the primitive man Krijn in the North Sea to hurricane Irma on Sint Maarten and from Boniface to Pim Fortuyn - on the basis of countless large and small historical developments and events, 'World History of the Netherlands' shows how much the Netherlands is connected to the world, and the world to the Netherlands. 'World History of the Netherlands' is a publication of the Huygens Institute for Dutch History, a KNAW research institute in the field of history and literature.
