Grammar

This grammar is for anyone who is interested in the English language and how it works. Many
people will come to this book because they are learning English and trying to master the structure
of the language. As soon as they have enough practical English to master the text, they will find
this grammar helpful to them although it has been written primarily for students of advanced level.

Tales of the Gun


Tales of the Gun is the TV series on the " History Channel ".  I wrote brief contents of
each episode and incorporated some pictures to it. Hope this TV series help me
understand the history.

Preface:
The gun has played the critical role in history. An invention which has been praised and denounced... served hero and villain alike... and carries with it moral responsibility. To understand the gun is to  better understand history.
