Congratulations to Dr. Adam Sundberg on the publication of his monograph with Cambridge University Press. Natural Disaster at the Closing of the Dutch Golden Age is an environmental history of natural disasters, including river and coastal flooding, panzootic waves of cattle plague, and invasive species outbreaks. This book explores the origins and outcomes of these disasters and their links to the perceived decline of the Dutch Republic. It also presents lessons these eighteenth-century experiences offer for the present.
