Synopsis

The Netherlands has undergone significant changes since the end of the Second World War in 1945. Today the Netherlands is at the heart of Europe, being one of the first countries to be involved in setting up the European Economic Community. Always in the vanguard of environmental action, the Dutch people face a huge challenge - if sea levels continue to rise due to global warming, large tracts of the Netherlands may be submerged underwater. Can the government counter this threat? Meet the people of the Netherlands and learn about the diversity of their lives, from a water technician from Rotterdam to a student doctor from Rosenburg. This book includes maps and graphic panels showing statistics and fact boxes about size, flag, population, religion, currency and language.
