 Drenthe
The Province of Drenthe is very popular because of its peace and quietness and its open spaces, not only for holidays, but also as an area to live and work in. In particular, the beautiful scenery with stretches of woodland and forest in ever-changing density, the moors covered in purple heather, the fens and the charm of the villages with their typical farming aspects, are all highly beloved and appreciated. The province is closely involved in preserving this valuable scenery and involved in the management of the national parks like the 'Dwingelderveld' and the 'Drents-Fries Wold'. The province is also active in developing new areas of natural and outstanding beauty. The setting-up of an ecological masterplan, to connect the natural areas with one another, is high on the provincial agenda.

The Dutch Republic: Its Rise, Greatness, and Fall -  by Jonathan Israel
The Dutch Golden Age, the age of Grotius, Spinoza, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and a host of other renowned artists and writers was also remarkable for its immense impact in the spheres of commerce, finance, shipping , and technology. It was in fact one of the most spectacularly creative episodes in the history of the world. Jonathan Israel gives the definitive account of the emergence of the United Provinces as a great power, and explains the subsequent decline in the eighteenth century. He places the thought, politics, religion, and social developments of the Golden Age in their broad context, and examines the changing relationship between the northern Netherlands and the south, which was to develop into modern Belgium.
