it works, who the important people are in its history and in the
current government, and the different parts of this very big and
diverse country. Each question is followed by
A simple answer

The explanation goes far beyond the simple answer to
give in-depth background information, allow you to really
understand the topic. Each explanation brings the facts and the
history and stories behind them alive, making learning about the
U.S. exciting and fun. Learning about the U.S. has never been easier. After
