This review is from: Motor Automotive Technology (Hardcover)
In summary: Very complete book, easy descriptions, great color pictures, helps non-reader types to understand and appreciate what learning and reading can afford.I am not much for reading, but this book is my favorite. It was the first book I had to buy for college and we covered every part of the car for my ASEP-GM associate degree program back in 1998. It really helped me to gain an understanding of the workings of cars. After working at the dealership for a couple years as a master ASE technician I decided to get a mechanical engineering degree because I wanted to keep learning more about cars and the theory behind them and to eventually learn how to make a better car. I found my self lending out this book to others in my classes so that they could read the easy explanations. Now I work for a major automotive manufacture as a test engineer and I am in an automotive graduate program and for the semester project, active suspension systems I checked into this book to see what Schwaller had to say and was surprised again to find a section on this topic that I never knew was in there. He explained it very clearly and in layman's terms.

This review is from: Motor Automotive Technology (Hardcover)
My auto tech class used to teach with this book. The pictures are very simple and easy to understand and same goes with the texts. It teaches you almost everything you need to know about cars including suspension, steering, engine, tires, AC, ignitions, tons more. It also shows how carburetors work.It does lack a few newer technologies on our cars theses days though like drive by wire and improvements on ignition systems. This book also lacks colorful pictures (as in like a photograph) and may seem a little boring if you aren't into cars. It does have colored pages, just not too detailed in color. Sum things up, it taught me al ot but very very slightly out of date. It contains all the fundamentals though
