Bought this as a Chirstmas gift for someone, so I'm not yet sure if they like it. However, I flipped through it before wrapping it, and it is a fun, short, book which explains the very basics of engine operations. It is probably aimed at children in the 8+ year old range, but it might also work for curious girlfriends who are always asking questions, but don't actually want to know the deep technical details. If any of you happen to also be in that situation.

I took 3 thermodynamic courses while studying engineering. We solved problems regarding the differing cycles (diesel, gas, etc). At the time, I was just blindly calculating numbers that had no significance. That’s how we were taught. As I was reading this book, I started connecting dots and began to pair the numerical calculations with the detailed imagery from this book. All of a sudden, everything made sense. I wish more professors would integrate real world imagery with the abstract concepts they teach. Learning would become more efficient and it would open up so many new creative ideas. The author of this book clearly lives by that moto.This book is a must read! 10/10

great book for my grand son good pictures informative

Book is as exactly described. Works as a primer for those that have never turned s wrench. Detail is appropriate for the scope of the text.

Bought this for my kid to study with and learn on however it is very basic, almost more a kids book.

Good for teaching the grandkids a little about car engines.

This book is informative. We bought it as a gift.

Easy to understand and educational,worth getting. My grandson loves it.
