Gr 6—10—The culture and history of Austria and its inhabitants are clearly presented. Beginning with a view of Austria's location and its geographic neighbors, the film moves to Salzburg and provides a brief overview of its history. Segments on Baroque architecture, Wolfgang Mozart, the Hapsburgs, the art and architecture of Vienna, and Freudian psychoanalysis are presented in a clear and informative manner. The production quality is good, and the mix of live-action footage, still photos, graphics, and maps provide a solid presentation of the historical, cultural, and geographic information. A useful supplement to global studies or geography classes.—Denise A. Garofalo, Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY
