Looks like your site is already number 3 on my google search for "how a car works". The homepage is a bit boring. You have a lot of pretty pictures, you should some how use them on your homepage. Perhaps include a relevant picture with every chapter heading. And for good measure, include all the social share buttons junk. Google+, FB, Twitter, etc... Especially for if you get popular on HN. You'll want those sharing karmas... I would also drop another adsense text box into the side nav. Perhaps remove the one at the bottom of the page.

You'll want those sharing karmas Ugh, no, for crap's sake, don't do this. People will share things if they want to. http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/media-lab/social-media/149922/limited-use-of-sharing-buttons-shows-desire-to-share-links-privately/ http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/media-lab/social-media/14... http://www.business2community.com/social-media/a-hot-button-issue-do-social-sharing-buttons-work-0231001 http://www.business2community.com/social-media/a-hot-button-... http://www.searchenginejournal.com/too-many-social-media-sharing-buttons-make-your-site-less-social/48240/ http://www.searchenginejournal.com/too-many-social-media-sha... etc.

You're right about the pictures for sure, I need to add a few random pics and thumbnails for chapter headings. I focussed on SEO for starters and Googlebot doesn't see pictures, but now that I have people I need to think about actual aesthetics.
