In Engines, the always entertaining and informative Theodore Gray
explores the glorious guts and intricate innards of dozens of
impressive machines. Through his engaging and unexpected stories
and Nick Mann's trademark gorgeous photography, Gray takes us on a
journey from ancient Greek steam engines to our most sophisticated
twenty-first-century machinery. We take time to appreciate the
detailed functionality of the internal combustion engine, the
connection between magnetism and electric motors, as well as
hydraulics, robotics, and more. Each chapter builds on the
previous, illuminating the evolution of engines and revealing the
ingenuity brought to bear as humans invented and perfected these
marvelous mechanical systems. Along the way, Gray regales us with
tales of his own experiences working with and collecting these
machines. For fans of how things are made and how they work,
Engines is a loving tribute to the mechanical world.
