Reviews

`The book succeeds very well in its objective of collecting renowned articles on different automobile-related topics. The approach of mixing old and new material; spanning four decades (1961-2000), is well thought-out, because some of the important basic works are somewhat older and too often the wheel is reinvented. Moreover, the structure is logical and clear.' -- Pascal Lammar, International Journal of Environment and Pollution
