Like a mix of topics in short magazine style

articles going into the history of various things from different parts of life.

I don't believe the music adds anything to this at all. It won't provide a full education but it can focus on helping you know a few more things about a variety of topics. Quite infotaining and I will probably by the next volume despite the music and the colonial ixents.
