Amazon.com: A great classroom resource, Just the Facts: American Presidents is a series of about five-minute biographies of each president from Washington to Clinton. Rather than focusing on each president's notable achievements, however, the biographies put interesting spins on the presidents' lives. It poses questions like who our only Catholic president was, which university is the alma mater of the most presidents, and who served as both president and vice president but was never elected by the people. Each biography does cover basics on each president, of course, from where they were born and buried to their major political, economic, and foreign-policy achievements and failures. This program should be conceived primarily as something for junior high social studies classes--teachers can easily integrate each biography over the course of an academic year, offering a form of continuity to each new era of American history. --Erik Macki
