Synopsis:

A book about Holland in four languages. Holland in Close-up is a book about the land that lies below sea-level, the people who live there, the cities they have built, the land they have cultivated and the industries they have founded. By means of an interesting text and beautiful photographs the following subjects are covered: land and water, polders, towers and castles, cities and villages, mills and farms, as well as the industrial aspects of the country. Apart from this, special attention is paid to the more characteristic items as for example costumes, the constructing of canals, important artists, natural gas, the harbour of Rotterdam and the reclamation of land. In short, Holland in Close-up is a fascinating book which in a unique way gives an insight in Holland and the people who live and work there.
