This latest edition and successor to
the well-known German-language handbook last published by Professors Heinrich
Buschmann and Paul Koessler comprehensively describes the fascinating world
of the automobile and its
development. Serving concurrently as a "time capsule" and a timely resource,
this technical reference book covers all areas of automotive research and
thoroughly examines the
recent state-of-the-art and rapidly
changing developments of the automobile. From powertrains and electronics to
vehicle safety and future materials, this handbook provides the reader with
wide-ranging insight into all assemblies, components, and systems of modern
motor vehicles and the complete life
cycle of the automobile.
In addition to gathering the most
comprehensive information on automotive engineering technology, editors
Hans-Hermann Braess and Ulrich Seiffert focus on balancing theory and practice
and ensure
they are communicated in a
synergistic manner. Because of this desirable balance, more than 40 well-known
authorities from the automotive and supplier industries engaged as contributors,
and-although
this text is based primarily on the
writings of German authors-the global nature of the automobile
industry ensures that its contents
have worldwide applicability.
If you are an engineer or automotive
specialist who seeks to expand his or her knowledge, or a
technically interested person,
student, and non-technical layman who wishes to learn more about
the modern automobile and its
systems, this handbook is the reliable source for day-to-day advice
and information.
