This book is loaded with photographs before, during and after various battles surrounding the Bulge campaign. There is also a section covering the trial of the Malmedy massacre. This is not an indepth, play by play, history, but a day to day photo/narrative of what the troops, on both sides, were going through. Great addition to any WW2 history buff’s collection.

Author: Roma Agrawal
Narrator: Roma Agrawal
A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. Some of engineering’s mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden-and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies-dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps-making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.

By  E-Books  0 Comments

Free Download David Kulczyk, "California Fruits, Flakes & Nuts: True Tales of California Crazies, Crackpots and Creeps"
English | 2013 | pages: 188 | ISBN: 1610351940 | EPUB | 0,5 mb
A freewheeling catalog of misfits, eccentrics, creeps, criminals, and failed dreamers, this compendium profiles 45 bizarre personalities who exemplify the Golden State’s well-deserved reputation for nonconformity. In the pages, Gold Rush pioneers are revealed as murderous madmen; Hollywood celebrities are shown to be drug-addled sex maniacs; early hippies are just 1950s weirdos; and even seemingly ordinary Californians have a talent for freakish, crazy, and criminal behavior. From frontier lunatic Grizzly Adams, whose head was one massive wound after multiple bear attacks, to ""I Love Lucy"" star William Frawley, a racist, misogynist, foul-mouthed drunk, and legendarily awful film director Ed Wood, ""California Fruits, Flakes, and Nuts"" is a side-splitting look at the people who made California the strangest place on earth.
