Terry Deary 지음 / Scholastic / 2007년 12월

영국의 스튜어트 왕조가 끝난 이후, 하노버 선제후의 아들 조지 1세가 뒤를 이어 하노버 왕조를 이었다. 사람들은 이들을 Georgians라고 불렀다. 하노버 왕조의 조지들, 이들의 역사는 입헌 군주제로 향하게 하는 첫걸음이 되었다. 

The George I, the first king of georgians couldn't speak English. So, he was just a king of England, not a essential ruler. He entrusted every power to the nobles, and this was the start of the parliamentary government system. It is also called constitutional monarchy. This is also the monarchy in England convented nowadays, and the people still like them although they don't manage them. 

The parliamentary government system is also called parliamentary cabinet system. Every people have responsibility for their duties. These were the start of English democracy. Well, the kings of Englands didn't do many things, but we can tell that they made base of nowaday's England. We can call it, the power of gorgeous georgians. 

영국에서는 실질적인 지도자의 위치를 차지하지 못한 가문이었을지라도, 충분히 화려한 생활을 영위했던 조지 가문. 영국에서는 앞으로도 이러한 가문들이 많이 등장하여, 그들의 실력을 다른 이들에게 넘겨주는 일에 더 치중할 것이다.

This electric current is called the lightning, and the sound from lightning is thunder. However, it is not a plenty phenomenon. If you want to take the charge of lightning, than you should wait for a long time standing with long iron things.

인류 비행의 역사는 참으로 길다. 사람들은 지구 전체를 지배하기 위해 갖은 애를 썼다. 보트를 만들고, 비행기를 만들어서 육해공을 모두 지배하기에 이르렀다. 그 중, 사람들이 가장 힘들어했던 공중의 지배의 과정을 살펴본다. 

The start was just a small wings that they made themselves. They made it with birds' feather and honey. The Icarus' story gave people braveness to fly. So, they jumped down to the ground... and then they had to go to hospital. 

They were too heavy to fly with wings. So, they choosed mechanics to fly. They made engines, and propellers. The first inventor, Wright brothers made them and succeed to fly for a long time. 

The flights are revoluting right away. Now, they are even faster than sounds. We call it supersonic speed. The jets can run fast and achieve their tasks. They have stealth function not to catched by the rader, and they attacks the enemy quickly just like an eagle. They are the dominator of air. And now, the flights are revoluting to fly the space, too. I hope they would discover more things from outer spaces.
