The revisions were to be so extensive on the author's The Basic Design of Two-Stroke Engines that what was to be a second edition evolved into a new book; the approach remains the same, but the material is more detailed and extensive. Intended as a textbook for advanced undergraduates or graduate students, or for those knowledgeable on limited aspects of the subject who want a broader perspective. After an introduction, coverage includes gas flow, scavenging, combustion, computer modeling, empirical assistance for the designer, reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, and reduction of noise. -- amazon.com
