Automotive

Engineering from the Germans!
I am amazed by the depth this book goes into! But what can I say, it was originally written by the Germans, masters of anything engineering. The translation seems good, however, there are some minor errors here and there regarding proper wording. The diagrams are all very detailed and very easy to read. The authors went to great lengths to get their point across. I do however have to purchase a few books on basic engineering pricipals seeing as this text is a bit more advanced than my education! Beware, if you do not know what "elastokinematic" means, than you may want to brush up on basic mechanical engineering pricipals like I have to do.

you must have it if you design cars
I found it very useful.
it covers quite all the parts related to suspensions and their function.

when theory is explained, it's made rigorously, but always to give you a formula you'll apply pratically: no "tensors" here.
there are a couple of tables and data that helped me much (what toe-in should I use in a street car?)
there are also pictures that helped me to explore new ideas (the pictures are about road cars, but I found them here).

in the end: if your job is to design road cars (or parts of road cars), I think that soon or later you'll put this book off the shelf and find very useful.
