Bridges
Construction, Types, Statics
Bridges are structures designed to overcome obstacles. These obstacles may be of a natural kind, such as rivers or canyons, but also artificially built, for instance motorways or railway lines. Bridges are not only used as ways of transportation but also carry supply facilities, such as water pipes, across terrain surfaces. Bridges not only connect shores but always also people and cultures. Bridges are important for trade, used to be prerequisites for the development of large cities and bear witness to excellent craftsmanship and engineering. Bridges are fascinating structures and have become indispensable and a matter of course for us humans.

Earthquakes
For millennia, people have been afraid of earthquakes. A force of nature that regularly devastates whole regions and claims thousands of lives. One reason for the fear of earthquakes may be that so far people have not succeeded in predicting these natural phenomena. Therefore, earthquakes still hit people unprepared in most regions of the world.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
