Mer om författaren

JOHN B. RONEY is a scholar of European history and teaches in the Department of History at Sacred Heart University. His areas of research focus on the smallest states in Europe that have managed to remain independent, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, since the Renaissance. The place of religion in society has been of particular interest, as well as the study of how historians have written about history. He regularly teaches these areas together with the wider fields of Medieval to Modern France.

Recensioner i media

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.
