Almost any per- all over the world delve the fascinating study stam Pps. HAS EDUCATIONAL VALUE "There are many things to be said of the great educational val- ues of this expert. Through the study of var- ious issues we see the whole story of history unfold. We learn the many ruling dynasties of various countries, we learn wonderful tales of territorial acquisitions, and we see scenes depicting the spirit of the individual country that issues the series.
