Engines: The Inner Workings of Machines That Move the World

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

Very nice

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.

Great book for boys age 14. Good series of books on how things work.
