It provides the readers with direct comparison between the past and the present, with a peek at the future. It is not only educational but also inspiring. We can discover, perhaps for the first time, the many qualities derived from our historical appreciation between the "then" and the "now" of the surroundings which helped form the ambiance in which we live today.
