Reviews
-
Culture and Customs of the Netherlands is a lively, readable guide to the diverse cultures and traditions of Netherland society. . . . Roney not only describes national traditions, but also does an effective job of identifying and exploring regional cultures. Another real strength of the guide is the illustrations; the dramatic, candid photographs help bring the text to life. This work is recommended for academic, school, and public libraries.
