Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This is an essential textbook for all students of the motor vehicle, and also a valuable reference source for a diverse range of professionals. The new edition brings the book completely up to date with the latest technical developments, including new sections on air conditioning systems, electrical power-assisted steering, and electronically controlled braking systems. The book has been revised throughout, placing more emphasis on health and safety aspects, and reflecting the increasing importance of electronics systems. Light and Heavy Vehicle Technology simply offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date text available. It is designed above all for students following the City & Guilds 3830, and other certificates such as the 3810 and 3300. It also provides all the underpinning knowledge required for NVQs up to Level 3, and for Advanced GNVQ students following the optional and additional units in automotive engineering. * Unrivalled depth of coverage * Designed for students following a wide range of automotive engineering courses * Relevant for C & G 3830, plus NVQ up to level 3 and Advanced GNVQ students.
