Ericas come in an astonishing array of sizes, shapes and colours. Some 760 species, many of them found nowhere else, occur in the Cape Floristic region – a centre of unparalleled diversity for the genus and home to one of the world’s richest floras. Even when in bloom, telling these delicate flowers apart is extremely challenging.

"Features include: concise identification text -- full-colour photographs of all species -- distribution maps -- interesting facts and curiosities -- informative introduction to the fascinating world of fynbos"--Cover

Written by former Ricardo chief designer John Manning, Internal Combustion Engine Design is a unique resource, intended as a comprehensive reference for both experienced and aspiring engine designers who wish to develop their skills and make the best use of available sources of data and information in the design of world-class engines Running to more than 650 pages and with over 700 detailed illustrations, drawings, photographs and tables providing easy reference to technical guidelines, Internal Combustion Engine Design explains the progress of engine design at a level of detail significantly beyond what might be expected of an educational text book or engineering guide. It takes the reader through the stages required in the design evolution and optimization of engine components and systems. Many of the techniques and methods described are applicable to almost any mechanical design application. The book is divided into two parts: the opening chapters describe current processes and procedures of state-of-the-art design engineering in a generic manner that is of relevance to any complex mechanical product development. The book then goes on to set-out - in an unprecedented level of detail - component and system design engineering as applied to the development of world-class internal combustion engines.
