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.

American Chopper


Orange County Choppers. Reality television series.
This episode is fabulous to watch, the OCC team come to Germany to visit the AMG  factory.

Command & Control - Ground Warfare


The terrain itself has the essential role. Both in attack and defense, the command must use the landscape to his advantage.

Battle Machines - Ground Warfare


Reactive Armor
This episode would show how the vehicle evolves in the battlefield history.
I always think the history class that should be taught like this in the school.
More room to think, and more interesting avoiding snoozing ~ ~

HMS Illustrious-Engineering Connections


Aircraft Carrier. Keep the deck level is very important for aircraft.

Earthquake Proof Bridge - Engineering Connections


Rion Antirion Bridge. Greece One of the longest bridges in the world. It crosses some of the
most active earthquake  fault lines in Europe.  Without some unprecedented engineering, that
bridge would still be a dream. There is no solid bed rock means no solid foundations. The hammock, A fizzy pop can, A toboggan, An incense, A steel chimney.

The World-Archipelago


Travel over the world with Megastructures Program is totally different from the  tour guide books.
The world only can be built by natural elements. Dubai wanted their own islands. For future investors, The World is the perfect project for building the dream in the exclusive environment. This would become top-tour destination in the world. The original plan is to create seven continents in a certain section. But, they quickly realize that no one would buy the large shape of the island. Instead of dividing it into several sand dunes.
