Excellent starter textbook (Beginner to Intermediate). The book covers every automotive subject to a degree (basics), but to cover a topic like Automobile Technology would take a whole private library shelf and some. I found several editing errors (I only read to the 16th Chapter) and the book is skippy on illustrations/ to topics. I found the textbook very redundant (many automotive topics and applications was repeated several times). Maybe, that is a good thing, because there is so much technical theory that is involved and interwoven with other systems. ASE and Career Chapter sections are worthless (I know this from some real experience - corporate greed and the real world). Perhaps, the next text edition will replace these book section with some useful information like more topic illustrations and real life appendices of measurements, electrical diagram and automotive specifications. All in all, this textbook is excellent beginner and refresher book. I don't know of any other text that even attempts to combine an infinite, diversified subject in one book.Read full review
