| The aspect I still enjoy most about working on vehicles is being able to diagnose a fault that has beaten others! This skill takes a few years to develop but it is worth the effort. Diagnostic work is much like that of a detective solving a difficult crime, all the clues are usually there – if you know where to look. I think it was Sherlock Holmes (a fictional detective if you have never heard of him!) who said:
When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
This is a great thought for a diagnostic technician to keep in mind.
To help you learn ‘where to look’ for the clues and to eliminate the impossible, this book combines some aspects of automotive technology covered in my other books. However, it goes much further with a new approach to the art of diagnostics as a science.
The skills needed to be a good diagnostic technician are many and varied. For one job you may need to listen to a rumbling noise as the car corners, for another you may need to interpret an oscilloscope waveform or a diagnostic trouble code.
Vehicles continue to become more complicated, particularly in the area of electronics. The need for technicians with good diagnostic skills therefore remains. This could be you and you should be paid well!
Look on the bright side of having complicated technology on vehicles – fewer ‘home mechanics’ and more work for you and me! |

Endoscopy of the Upper GI Tract: A Training Manual
While technological advances have made endoscopy one of the most common procedures for examining the upper GI tract, learning how to maneuver the instruments and interpret the images can be frustrating for those without experience. Designed specifically for those in training, Endoscopy of the Upper GI Tract -- with over 770 illustrations ... | | Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science 2008: 33rd International Symposium, MFCS 2008, Torun, Poland, August 25-29, 2008, ProceedingsThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 33rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS 2008, held in Torun, Poland, in August 2008.

A FEW YEARS AGO some students and I were looking at a map that pinpointed the
locations of about loo cities. We asked ourselves, "Which of these cities are neighbors
of each other?" We knew intuitively that some pairs of cities were neighbors and others
were not; we wanted to find a formal mathematical characterization that... |
