Manwaring "beyond driving" (Lancashire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) This review is from: Four-by-four Driving: Off-roader Driving (Hardcover) This is such a simple book to follow, explaining complex ideas (like how a differential works) in a way that any off roader can understand (and better than many off road instructors!). I have used this book to help both novice and experienced 4x4 drivers improve their technique. The diagrams are clear and precise, and the text is written from the standpoint of a real expert - though never patronising. If you want an introduction to off road driving and vehicles - this is the best book to buy. --Amazon review previous edition

No other book is so complete with figures and pictures, these book is an concentrate of his other book much large and quite a "physic" manuel on the Expeditionn experience (see above review).Nowhere and nobody write a book so profesionnal, so deep with pictures and shemas.Sheppard is the unique "guru" of the 4WD who can write what he lives and what he teach to real expeidions men (army, ONG, etc...). A must to have and to offer... --Amazon review previous edition
