Review: Windmills of Holland

Windmills of Holland Windmills of Holland by C. P. Braay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Interesting, concise history of the windmill of Holland. Photos, diagrams, and history of specific windmill types cover antecedents like the watermill and "treadmill" (as in horse tread). I never knew that the typical windmill completely or internally rotates to catch the wind. Also, interesting was windmill configurations for community messages.
