ENGINES

A very nice book with high print quality. The data, images, and information are all well-presented.

Si tienes a alguien interesado en motores o un futuro ingeniero mecánico, regálale este libro o si tú eres el susodicho, cómpratelo. La verdad tiene buenísimas fotos y el contenido está explicado muy a detalle, totalmente disfrutable!

Espectacular, como todo lo de theodore gray. Me encanta

This book is a good read to go through. Especially for me since I can't decide between mechanical engineering and physics. ( I still couldn't decide after but it's still nice to read ) This book covers engines (the core of mechanical engineering) from steam to combustion and more, along with covering a little bit of electrical stuff relating to motors and generators. It is written well and in an engaging fashion, with a good mix of theory, application, and history / tidbits. It contains amazing pictures and some graphs of how engines work. My only minor grievance is that there is not enough theory behind the topics, some good explanations but little and few between. Some formulas would be nice, I get that there is a rule that for every formula the sales are halved but I wish the book would have disregarded this, I bet it has enough beautiful pictures to overcome the rule. Anyways, I'm off to go buy an old two stroke leaf blower engine from eBay and see how it works thanks to this book. If your planning on doing the same, do it outside, with a mask filter (look into mask filters / cartridges), gloves, and safety glasses. I think that is the safety stuff for disassembly.

This is a very remarkable book parts of which may challenge all but the most sophisticated engineer minds. The illustrations are excellent and the detailed analyses well written and not overlong. An absolute treasure trove, although certainly not for light reading.
