Arguably one of the most interesting and beautiful countries in the world, Switzerland is also one of the geographically smallest. Important for its banking and other business and technical skills, its cities, such as Zurich, Bern, Lausanne, and Geneva, reveal both history and modernism. Viewers will learn of the country's paradoxical traditions of political neutrality combined with compulsory military service and see stunning Alpine settings near the Jungfrau and Matterhorn mountains or in towns like Grindelwald. Features information-rich maps that clarify geographical data such as Switzerland's global location, major regions and important cities. The script and narrators reflect the indigenous cultures of Switzerland, but use language appropriate for North American classrooms. Includes a teacher's guide.
