Choice Review
A truly monumental coverage of the field of spark-ignition (gasoline-type fuel) engines and compression-ignition (diesel-type fuel) engines. Heywood (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) spent ten years compiling the data and writing this book and it is without doubt the best work in this subject at this time. The field of internal combustion engines as used in autos has taken a giant step forward in the last 20 years as a result of pollution control demands, fuel saving needs caused by the 1974 oil crunch, and the introduction of fuel-injection and electronic computer controls to maximize engine performance. Any car buff would enjoy the first chapter on the history of the internal combustion engine. The balance of the volume is quite technical, but very lucid and well written. There are excellent illustrations, tables, and problems, and first-rate appendixes and index; each chapter has an extensive bibliography. Both a textbook and a professional reference source, this book should be in all libraries serving mechanical engineers and in community college libraries supporting programs on auto mechanics and repair. -G.
