Instant Experts

At first glance, these History Channel DVDs may look like the visual equivalent of Cliff Notes, a way to learn about something for school without having to actually do any of the work. Well, look again. Better yet, pick up one of the shows from this entertaining and thought-provoking series and settle in for a real treat, even if you don’t have a report due on The Mayflower, Egypt or the French Revolution. Where Cliff Notes are designed as a shortcut to keep you from actually doing any work, these DVDs will inspire you to learn more about the world we live in. Individual DVDs include Egypt, The French Revolution, The Mayflower, Ben Franklin, Beowulf and the Story of Oil.
