When big news breaks, KnowledgeNews will radically expand your brain--with a special learning report that you can print and save as a PDF. We'll investigate the history, we'll investigate the science, we'll investigate whatever it takes to understand the biggest news and events of our time.
For example:
The problems of Pakistan may seem far away. But events in the Indus River Valley matter to the world. We'll show you why--via the maps, stats, and historical knowledge you need to make sense of the Islamic world's only nuclear-armed nation.[In Special Reports]
A Peek at Pakistan
We've measured the president's powers. We've seen what Congress can (and can't) do. Now we're taking you to court--to the Supreme Court. Because you need to know about America's third governmental branch: the federal judiciary.Order of the Courts
Beware the Bear! Under Vladimir Putin, Russia practically insists that the world reckon with her as a great power. We will. We'll meet all-powerful Russian czars, watch Russian empires rise and fall, and measure up the world's largest country.Russia's Bullish Bear
The president of the United States is arguably the world's most powerful person, boss of a U.S. government branch that dwarfs the other two. So, let's size up both branch and boss--by reviewing the people, the powers, and the privileges they claim.Executive Summary
See the Dragon! Twenty percent of the world lives in China. Only the United States produces more. And, with China's rulers heeding Confucius's call to "make the people rich," China's power will only grow. We must see Beijing, Hong Kong, and more.China's Rising Dragon
Today's Iran--ancient Persia--makes the news almost as much as today's Iraq--ancient Mesopotamia. At issue most: Iranians enriching uranium. Clearly it's time for us to make a Persian excursion, to fly to Iran and put it on your mental map.Iran's Atomic Plans
Join us on a virtual journey to Afghanistan--via the maps, stats, and historical knowledge you need to make sense of the place. Along the way we'll meet mujahedeen, grapple with ancient conquerors, and see where Osama may be hiding.Assessing Afghanistan
Anyone can complain about Congress. But we'll march on the Capitol to see how Congress actually works. We'll enumerate its 18 constitutional powers. We'll list eight congressional no-nos. Before you know it, we'll be interviewing founding fathers!What Congress Can (and Can't) Do
Every day, there's news out of Iraq. It's easy to forget what a life-and-death situation it is. Get educated with the best look we have at what's happening over there, meet and map the Shi'ites and the Kurds, and trace the nation's crucial history.The State of Iraq
When North Korea detonates a nuclear bomb, it's time to go to work on North Korea--with overviews, timelines, and a scientific look at nukes and the damage they can do. It's even time for a trip to China and an interview with Confucius himself.How North Korea Went Nuclear
