The human stories behind the development of the internal combustion engine are combined with full-color photographs in this coffee-table style book to present the beauty of the engines themselves. In addition to the portrait-quality photographs, line drawings, cutaways, and clear text describe how each engine works and its primary uses. The fascinating histories of the engineers and inventors who built these pioneering machines-stories of fame and fortune and tragedy and ruin are also told.
