Automotive Books

very useful information. A lot of practice questions that really help. I would recomend this book to anyone that want to pass ase a1.

The book that I ordered is for advancement in my chosen career field. It is exactly what I need to complete the last test in my certification process.

thanks,

Very rare DB2's photo, it is a beautiful.
Vintage Aston's super book.
Very nice !

A freidn of mine brought me this book back from the UK. He said he found it at the airport and thought I would enjoy it. He was right.

This is great history and recounts the beginnings of the Aston Martin story and used plenty of pictures to augment the test.

I would recommend for any Aston Martin enthusiast and it is welcome addtion to my library on the marque.

Great Book. Much better and more fun than I expected. Couldn't expect more than this from a bunch of reviews.

I purchased this book as a reference for my aerospace engineering senior design project, in which I functioned as the dyanmics and control analyst. This book proved to be invaluable in every aspect of my responsibilities, particularly and most importantly in actual simulation of the equations of motion. The specific MATLAB codes provided are an excellent reference for writing your own scripts and functions for the numerical integration, and auxillary functions like the atmosphere and gravity programs were huge time-savers. If unfamiliar with the material, his step-by-step approach to the end goal of simulating a wide variety of atmospheric, transatmospheric, and spaceflight/orbital problems in both aero- and astronautical vehicles is perfectly structured. You will gain valuable insight into common dynamic modeling assumptions, both in 3 and 6 degree of freedom problems. I could not have asked for a better text.

The only possible suggestion for improvement I have is a greater number of even more in-depth, modern-type problems, like a recurring Space Shuttle example; this would cover a vertical-take off rocket with unique strcuture, aerodynamics, and staging into orbit, rendezvous with an orbiting station, lifting body reentry, and glide-to-target landing. Other possibilities include atmospheric simulations of hypersonic vehicles with ramjet/scramjet type propulsion. Still, these are just small suggestions in the face of what is an overall excellent publication; I would certainly buy future works from this author, particularly those with similar topics and examples as brought up above.

I loved the history, the photos and the journey from start to present. I noticed the author, Paul Harris, is also the editor of "Audi Driver", but haven't been able to find any information on this publication. I would love to get my hands on that one!! I recommend this book to anyone who loves Audi's as much as I do.

Must have boks if you owne an Audi and plan to do your ownrepairs.

This book is in excellent condition, one slight soiled spot on page 3. Inside the front cover is the original warranty registration form which was never completed. It indicates that this was an export car. Form is in excellent condition. Publication number 1268/A. Date inside the cover is March 1957, seventh edition publication 996/G.

Very good information, that's needed, when you have to do maintance on a old car.
