The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he puts in his album. Besides learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized (有的), stamps teach him some basic facts about carving, paper, and printing.
Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently printed, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical importance.
Stamps also offer instruction in geography. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors.
To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass (放大镜) the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare (稀有的) variety.
