The work documents how the Dutch people fought to manage their environment, showcasing the engineering and cultural significance of dykes, windmills, and other hydraulic structures. It features high-quality black-and-white and color photography, as well as distinctive photomontages by Schuitema himself and a collective of prominent mid-20th century Dutch photographers, including Piet Zwart, Eva Besnyö, and Cas Oorthuys. The book serves as both a historical record of water management and an artistic celebration of the Dutch landscape, capturing scenes of beaches, dunes, grain harvests, and bridges alongside the essential infrastructure that defines the nation's geography.
