A bold tribute to the Land of Windmills, Tulips, and the Golden Age of the Lowlands where the Netherlands, the small low-lying nation on the North Sea delta of the Rhine, Maas, and Scheldt rivers where a quarter of the land lies below sea level and two thirds would be flooded at high tide without the extraordinary system of dikes, polders, and pumping stations that the Dutch have built and maintained for a thousand years of hydraulic engineering, gave the world in the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age the most remarkable explosion of artistic genius and commercial innovation in early modern history, where Rembrandt van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, Frans Hals, and Jan Steen painted the domestic scenes, portraits, and landscapes that established the Dutch school as the supreme tradition of European realist painting, where the Dutch East India Company founded in 1602 was the world's first publicly traded company and the most powerful commercial enterprise of the 17th century, where the tulip mania of 1636 to 1637 was history's first recorded speculative bubble, and where the Netherlands today leads the world in water management technology, sustainable agriculture, cycling infrastructure, and the philosophical tradition of pragmatic tolerance that gave the world both Erasmus and Spinoza.
