Modern Automotive Technology/Instructor's Manual Book 15

Up for sale this week is new never used copy of Modern Automotive Technology/Instructor's Manual. It was found in the store room of high school media center.

 This book is a great way to learn how cars work and how to repair them. When I was in high school this book is what I used to learn about cars and its great. It covers how an engine works, engine performance and service and diesel fundamental. Other areas the book covers are brakes, ignition, transmissions, steering, drive train/axles, cooling systems, heating/ac, safety and navigation system, emissions, lubrication system, suspension, fuel system, electrical parts of the car (wires, battery, alternator). Different sensor on the car and how to diagnose and fix them. Vocabulary on different automotive terms, how to use tools, safety in a garage, how electricity and the different computer systems work in the car and tips/direction on how to do different task, like performing different test to diagnose a problem. Some other information the book cover is turbo and supercharger, maintenance care and hybrid operation and repair. In all this is a great book for those who love cars or what to work on them. The book has a great writing style that is clear and to the point. It explains complex modern systems in great detail and in a manner that is clear and engaging. Another thing that is rather unique are the extremely detailed illustrations. They display not just the component, but also how it relates to the rest of the vehicle as part of a system. This gives you a strong visual impression of how the component works, how it interrelates to other components, a good idea of its location within the system, and so on. As they say, a good picture is worth a thousand words! I've found these highly detailed illustrations to be absolutely invaluable.
