This book is the most comprehensive treatment yet of the problems faced by the engineer caused by static electricity. Written in as non-technical a manner as possible, given the depth of the material, this book discusses the material from the beginner level to many advanced topics for engineers and designers. It discusses not only the harmful and damaging known effects of static electricity on electrical and electronic equipment, but the possible solutions and applications that can be used to stop it.

Lancia's V6-engined Aurelia series of the 1950s - GT, Spyder and Saloon - remain among the most beautiful cars ever made. Quintessentially Italian, they were technically advanced and fast, with taut handling. All variants are examined, with descriptions of design and engineering features, production changes, special-bodied examples and the story of the cars' illustrious competition career.
