Nederland voor nieuwkomers
Knowledge of the country and its citizens
If you have arrived in the Netherlands by airplane, you will have already noticed the low lands separated by straight canals, wide rivers and dikes to keep the seawater out. But you will also notice a lot of construction: roads, buildings, cities, especially in the West. Holland is a densely populated country.
Nederland voor nieuwkomers is a book for newcomers, and you may be one of them. In 15 lessons this richly illustrated book provides you with basic information on the Dutch society, the geography and the history. It will help you with your exploration of the Netherlands.
