The series uses a question and answer format to reinforce each segment's main ideas. There are instructional suggestions given throughout this guide and users are encouraged to supplement the material with other materials which are referenced...pertinent biographical information is provided regarding the people (Al Adams, Mitch Demientieff, Willie Hensley, Senators Murkowski and Stevens, Morris Thompson, Don Young, etc.) involved in this series."2
