Historical Dictionary of the Netherlands

By: Joop W. Koopmans,Arend H. Huussen, Jr.

The Netherlands, frequently but erroneously called Holland, is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. In the past few decades, it has been undergoing many transformations made possible by its dynamic and fast-moving political landscape. It has shifted from fierce nationalism toward a self-image of tolerance and permissiveness: the national identity and self-consciousness has slowly eroded through decolonization and immigration. Unfortunately, several murders of prominent, controversial politicians have started yet another shift away from tolerance, and economic stagnation has bred pessimism. Nonetheless, despite many trials and tribulations, there has been real progress, and the Dutch have perhaps done a better job of coming to terms with their limitations than many others in the world. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Netherlands contains more than 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on individual topics spanning the Netherlands' political, economic, and social system along with short biographies on important figures who have shaped the Netherlands' history. Supplementing the entries are a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and a bibliography, making this a superb quick reference on the Netherlands.

Art of the Formal Garden

By: Arend Jan van der Horst

Today's "formal garden" features an exciting combination of elegant and romantic elements. These 12 richly illustrated arrangements, created by a leading designer, feature "imaginative symmetry"--the free planting of plants within a symmetrical framework. The result: a dynamic blend of rustic and urban, open and hidden styles. Adapt the author's plans and planting schemes, choosing from many styles of hedges, herbaceous borders, terraces, water features, kitchen gardens, pergolas, to create a classic garden all your own.
