All over the world, people learn at school that the Netherlands is a country below sea-level. Dikes, polders, windmills and wooden shoes are
well-known icons for this unusual nation, while its sturdy dams and storm surge barriers also enjoy world fame.
But how does it all work? Not even every Dutch person could explain it all to you: how can a country exist under such circumstances and yet be prosperous?
One would expect the Dutch to panic about climate change but they don’t seem to do so; how come?
This book will tell you all about it, both in words and photos, striking a balance between developments in the past, the present and the future, steering
clear from both generalizations and too much technological detail.
Whether readers are expats, tourists or people far away taking an interest, this book
will offer them fascinating insights on how a society can function around sea level.
