The Embarrassment of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden AgeSchama explores the mysterious contradictions of the Dutch nation that invented itself from the ground up, attained an unprecedented level of affluence, and lived in constant dread of being corrupted by happiness.

Schama explores the mysterious contradictions of the Dutch nation that invented itself from the ground up, attained an unprecedented level of affluence, and lived in constant dread of being corrupted by happiness. Drawing on a vast array of period documents and sumptuously reproduced art, Schama re-creates in precise detail a nation's mental state. He tells of bloody uprisings and beached whales, of the cult of hygiene and the plague of tobacco, of thrifty housewives and profligate tulip-speculators. He tells us how the Dutch celebrated themselves and how they were slandered by their enemies.


"History on the grand scale...An ambitious portrait of one of the most remarkable episodes in modern history."--New York Times

"Wonderfully inclusive; with wit and intense curiosity he teases out meaning from every aspect of Dutch seventeenth-century life."--Robert Hughes

Our girls love them

Must be very tasty as our pups love them. They do break apart easily tho. We mix the “dust” in their food and gobble it up

Don't leave the bag out. Even if it is closed. My cat tore it open and shared it with both dogs nearly depleting the big bag in one day

My dog loves these!
Size: 5.75 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog loves these! I add a few pieces to his food to entice him to eat his meals. He loves the chicken! I appreciate that it is just chicken, and I am not giving my dog a bunch of filler.

Good Treats
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
One ingredient healthy treats. I have bought them several times and my dog loves them. Only complaint is there were a lot of broken pieces that were more like crumbs.
