{"product_id":"netherlands-culture-smart-michel-daenen-9781787023949","title":"Netherlands - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs \u0026 Culture","description":"This new and updated edition of Culture Smart! Netherlands will take you beyond the stereotypical windmills, clogs, cheese, and tulips to understand the complex layers of Dutch identity. There are tips on what to expect and how to behave in different circumstances, as well as vivid descriptions of the food, festivals, and social behaviors that embellish daily life. This small, densely populated, low-lying country on Europe's northwestern seaboard punches above its weight. As the name \" Netherlands,\" or lowlands, suggests, nearly 25 percent of it is below sea level and the Dutch have spent centuries keeping the North Sea at bay -- hence the saying, \" God made the world, but the Dutch made Holland.\" The Netherlands has an international reputation for championing justice and human rights. It is also famous for its liberal attitudes, reflected in Dutch law and especially evident in the capital, Amsterdam. Intelligent, cosmopolitan, outward-looking, enterprising, and modest, the Dutch are people worth getting to know and Culture Smart! Netherlands offers the perfect insight into their customs and attitudes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Daenen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178702394X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787023949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kuperard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michel Daenen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084180005119,"sku":"9781787023949","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/netherlands-culture-smart-michel-daenen-9781787023949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
