Book Description
Natural disasters repeatedly beset the Dutch Republic during the eighteenth century and coincided with environmental, political, economic, and social changes many characterized as decline. This book explores the connections between disasters and Dutch decline and uncovers lessons these eighteenth-century experiences offer for the present.
