Amazing people have lived before us. Momentous times have shaped us. The power of history is inescapable. It lives today in how we think, act, dress and live. It is the force that has created countries, conflicts and cultures.
Knowing history is the mark of a well-educated person. It can also be the foundation of a rewarding career.
