History: earliest times to present day

Paperback. In 1630s, the Netherlands was gripped by tulipmania: a speculative fever unprecedented in scale and, as history would have it, folly. The author lays waste to the legends, revealing that while the 1630s did see a speculative bubble in tulip prices, neither the height of bubble nor its bursting were anywhere near as dramatic as we tend to think. Num Pages: 446 pages, 13 colour plates, 69 halftones, 3 line drawings. BIC Classification: 1DDN; 3JD; HBJD; HBLH; HBTB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 28.
