Book Overview

Often we take our vehicles for granted, but sometimes we hear about an incredible machine that makes us appreciate the ingenuity of engineers.

Each dazzling book, a well-researched combination of history and science, details the evolution of the featured machine and how today's models are engineered for extreme performance. Tables, diagrams, and timelines make critical concepts clear for future engineers. A final chart provides all the speed stats that enthusiasts crave.
