2 comments about Equations of Motion: Adventure, Risk and Innovation.
- Bill Milliken is the father of modern vehicle handling and a god among racing engineers. In "Equations of Motion" Milliken details his exploits in aviation, auto racing and fundamental vehicle research. Growing up in 1910's Maine, Milliken 'ginned up a variety of motorized machines ... He was one of the first test pilots to fly at 40,000 feet in a pressurized B-17 ... After the war he raced Bugattis and Millers up Pike's Peak and helped found modern auto racing at Watkins Glen, ending upside-down half the time, but all in service of his day job -- revolutionizing the dynamic design of aircraft and automobiles. Milliken -- 95 at the publication of this book -- is an inspiration. Unlike most autobiographies, even of people with a fraction of his accomplishments, Milliken never preens or puffs. Instead he just tells it (and shows it -- hundreds of fascinating illustrations) with characteristic Yankee modesty and understated humor.
- The book is a wealth of information about Bill's life. The photos are good, and probably a number of ones never published. I was on a pit crew for him in 1958. He was truly remarkable then, and, as the book, says, still is remarkable.
A must for the aviation and sports car buff.

5 comments about Cadillac: 100 Years of Innovation.
- This is a great book for the casual Cadillac enthusiast who seeks a solid, well-rounded book about the marque; it's also good for the die-hard types like me who simply like to have as many beautiful color photos of Cadillacs as they can contain on their bookshelves.
The photography is stunning and other illustrations in the book are fascinating and often quite original, i.e. the sort that you don't commonly find in other books or Web sites on the subject. One unique aspect of this book that I particularly appreciate is the way it is organized. Every other book on the subject follows the same proven approach: a chronologically organized history of the marque. Van Bogart's book, by contrast, is divided into different histories focusing on different aspects of the marque rather than a single history that encompasses all of them. For example, after reading a general history, the chronology repeats again, this time focusing on Cadillac's impact on pop culture, then again focusing on Cadillac's innovations, and so-on. Although I've read many books on the history of Cadillac, and although this book is not as thorough as others, I really enjoyed recounting Cadillac history with a different focus each time. I gave this book a 4-star rating for its beautiful photography, interesting illustrations, and particularly for its novel approach to recounting the history of Cadillac. The fifth star is reserved for anyone who can match Thomas Bonsall's out-of-print "Cadillac: The American Standard", which is also available in more abbreviated and updated form as "Cadillac: The Postwar Years". These books represent the benchmark for the subject in my opinion.
- Mr. Van Bogart has captured the classic beauty of Cadillac design and composed a brief history of the marque packaged in an immensely readable tome that does not require the strength of Hercules to lift.
- I have loved Caddys since my first one.(A 1961 I bought in '72 when I was just a girl.)
I was never able to afford another one until almost 20 years later. Worth the wait.
Because of this love there of I read up on the then Cadillac history and honestly believed I knew all there was to know about this wonderful car.
I was wrong.
If you own this car, any year, any make, any model and you DON'T own this book. Shame on you! It is worth the price of admission just for the pictures.
Trust me!
- Love the book! Like any picture book it needs more pictures. I think it skips some details on some of the cars. A summary in the back with options for each car would of made this a true classic. Hope he makes a new addition, more pictures please. It's a great first book to get your bearing on the world of Cadillac Americana.
- My son in law just purchased a 1960 Cadillac, I wanted a pictorial book for his birthday. I could'nt find one in any of the bookstores in Adelaide, South Australia. I was thrilled when this book arrived in the post, it was just what I wanted. Very informative with plenty of colour photos. Needless to say son in law loved his present!

3 comments about Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz 1984-1994 (Haynes Manuals).
- the book is great, I bought the book,and left it on the table, when i got back, my wife had the car in pieces, and starting to put it back together, she fixed it, and I didnt have to get greasy,
- ...It's VERY worthwhile buying seeing that it tells you EVERYTHING about your car, and how to repair them inc. sensors, brakes, lights, replacing transmission gears, head gaskets ect...
It's the only book you need. I have one for my Sunbird, Topaz GS, Topaz L and my 2001 Malibu LS
- This one is an excelent book, makes itself clear on every repair and mainteinance task. It worths from cover to back cover.
