Even the book jacket, a delightful shot of a Ferrari (what else?) speeding across the cover, instead of a series of portraits of the F1 drivers (as was the case with 2003 "The Season") is an improvement. The improvements are not confined to just the cover. This comes somewhat as a relief, as in my review of "The Season", I swore that I would not buy another annual of its ilk, but this year, I had more money than good sense and once again purchased the book to go along with the customary "Autocourse".
This Annual is published by the Haymarket Publishing Group (a glance at the credits page shows input from Matt Bishop and Stephane Samson of F1 Racing as well as Mark Hughes from AutoSport) and Haynes instead of FOM, the publishers of the now defunct F1 Magazine. Despite this, Bernie Ecclestone still contributes the foreword.
Eddie Jordan looks at each of the drivers and gives a brief assessment of how they rank against each other. There is also a section which looks at the technical aspects of the cars of 2004, with the Technical Directors of all 10 teams making a list for "Car of the Year". There is also seperate article with a focus on the Ferrari F2004. Additionally, following the race roundups, there is a season roundup of technical developments for each team although the coverage for the lesser lights (Jag/Jordan/Minardi) is slight. There are additional team statistics (the usual: wins, starts, points and so on) and technical details of chassis/engine as well as key staff for each of the teams.
Jenson Button, Juan Pablo Montoya, Fernando Alonso, and Kimi Raikkonen all contribute a two page spread discussing their own seasons and performances. The race roundups are OK, similar to the style of F1 Racing, with a little input from key technical figures such as Pat Symonds of Renault, David Pitchford of Jaguar and Montoya again. The graphics presented for each race are nice, and there is a sentence or two from each race driver summing up their performances. The race roundups are probably the biggest improvement from the previous year's annual.
The Test drivers have not been neglected: there are a couple of articles dedicated to the "Lost Boys", as well as a statistics section- did you know it was not Ferrari that covered the most testing mileage for 2004, but Toyota? And Williams were second?
On the downside, I note there is some advertising material, and it seems to me to be more advertising than in the past. Still it is not such a huge issue for me. More indepth discussion from other drivers apart from those already contributing articles as mentioned previously would have been nice- at least the 2003 edition did discuss each individual driver.
Overall, this annual, while probably not a serious threat (oh, how I long for an annual to rival the 2001 and 2002 editions of F1 Annual) for Hazelton and Autocourse, does offer a genuine alternative for those who are tiring of the Autocourse product.』 『Here is the full, in-depth story of the 2005 Formula 1 season, told by the drivers and team personnel involved. Superb insider content allows the personalities involved to shed light on many of the season's headlines and incidents, and the clearly presented statistics provide a comprehensive reference source for the future. Packed with behind-the-scenes detail and stunning photographs, this is an essential edition to any Formula 1 enthusiast's bookshelf.』

After talking to some high tech parents, they introduced me to SolidWorks. The students love it. It was so easy to get started and now my students are better than me. But I wanted to do more so I bought a VEX robot kit.
This book is a great way to combine learning CAD and building actually robots. The book takes students through making parts and in less than a week, students are creating parts on their own. With the book, my students have instructions on how to model the parts and compare to the actual parts. Then they assemble the parts in different configurations. Combining this book with VEX robot kit has been an affordable way to introduce engineering into the classroom. On parent's night, students present their portfolios complete with drawings. My director is happy, my students are happy and next term I have a full enrollment.』 『The Fundamentals of SolidWorks 2007 is designed for students, educators, hobbyists, and engineers to learn the basic principles of SolidWorks as it relates to the design of the VEXplorer robot. The VEXplorer is a 300 part robot kit manufactured by Innovation First, Inc. and Revell Inc. Innovation first engineers utilized SolidWorks to design the robot. Throughout this book, you will recreate VEXplorer components by developing SolidWorks parts, assemblies, drawings, photo-realistic renderings, analyses, and animations.
This book starts out with a basic overview of the concepts and terminology used throughout this book using SolidWorks software. Each chapter addresses key features and tools in SolidWorks. The chapters provide individual short practice tutorials to review the required competencies.
All models for the 40+ tutorials are provided on the CD enclosed with the book, along with their solutions.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Any enthusiast of the sport will relish this) 『The Science of Formula 1 Design analyzes the basics of Grand Prix car design at the turn of the 21st century, drawing on information from the sport's leading design engineers to explain how toe Formula One car works and the philosophy and technology behind its construction. Any enthusiast of the sport will relish The Science of Formula 1 Design, an expert analysis packed with color photos and technical information perfect for sports and racing libraries.』
(Gorgeous Pictures) 『Beautiful pictures and plenty of technical information. While the specific rules keep changing, it is still a nice place to learn about the principle of each car component if you are just getting into F1.』
(Great first F1 book) 『Lots of good information and high quality pictures. Not so in depth that you could duplicate the technology of an F1 car in your garage or anything but a close enough look that you would know where to go next for a book on carbon fiber lay up or suspension design if you wanted to.』
(Good coffee-table reading) 『As promised by the title, this book provides lots of information about the technology that goes into Formula 1 cars. The writing is easy to read, the photographs and sketches are well-chosen, of good quality and easy to follow. Even the constant struggle between politics, technical evolution and the need to keep the playing field level finds its place in the book.
Now that the Super Aguri F1 team has gone, if you are wondering just why the sport is so expensive, you'll find the answer here-supported by some impressive statistics.
The only downside to this book is that the author has used copious amounts of interview material verbatim. If you've seen how F1 mechanics, bosses and drivers talk during an interview, you know there is very little real meat in their words. Unfortunately this makes the book sound like an extended press-release at times.
Beware of some fairly technical passages-you will need to have some knowledge of how cars work in order to understand them.』
(Very educational book) 『I really liked it, this book gives so much insight to the world of Formula one and it's pretty easy reading. I highly recommend it.』 『
Leading F1 journalist David Tremayne unravels the mysteries of modern Grand Prix car design in this fascinating all-color book. Using information gleaned from the sport's leading designers, the authoritative, extensively illustrated text, written with the armchair enthusiast in mind, explains just how a Formula 1 car works. The philosophy and technology behind the chassis, engine, transmission, electronics, steering, suspension, brakes, tyres and aerodynamics are analyzed, and the important question of how these parts and systems interact is explored. An absorbing insight into the secretive and technology-driven world of Formula 1 car design.
