Publisher's summary

Taking listeners beyond the stereotypical images of windmills, clogs, and tulips, this audio guide helps visitors understand the complex layers of identity in this small, densely populated country on Europe's northwestern seaboard. With roots as a maritime nation that built a network for transportation, defense, and trade, the Netherlands of today is still a prime economic hub of Europe. The Netherlands is also famous for its liberal attitudes, recently challenged by high levels of immigration, and is home to an intelligent, cosmopolitan, enterprising, tolerant, and modest people. The visitor or business traveler will find that the predominant attitude continues to be one of live-and-let-live and that many different communities live alongside each other in harmony.

Superficial writing, non-professional reading

I started listening to this book but it was simply unbearable. The "facts" are so superficial ("100K Dutch Jews were killed in the Holocaust but many more would have been murdered had Dutch families not hidden them", "The Netherlands absorbed many immigrants and as a result became a multi-cultural country" and so on and so forth). The reader hasn't made the slightest effort to learn how to pronounce Dutch words and phrases such as "buiten" or "doe maar gewoon". Steer away from this book by all means.
