CLYMER Volvo 1944-68 Workshop Man Pv444, Pv544 , P1800, Pv445, P122 , P210, P130

A comprehensive workshop manual for all Volvo cars manufactured from 1944 through 1968 utilizing the B14 (1414cc) B16 (1583cc) and B18 (1778cc) engines and M4, M30 and M40 transmissions and overdrive. Specific models include the PV444, PV544 (P110), P1800, PV445, and P122 (P120 & Amazon). However, as the same driveline was used for the P210, P130, P220,144,142 and 145 through the 1968 model year much of the data is also applicable to these models. Measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches, with 464 pages and 438 illustrations, charts and specifications it would be difficult to imagine that a more complete manual exists for these early Volvo automobiles. Originally published by Floyd Clymer this is a faithful reproduction of the 1964 publication. It includes complete technical data, service and maintenance information and comprehensive detailed instructions for the repair and overhaul of all major and minor mechanical and electrical components, making it an invaluable resource for collectors and restorers of these classic automobiles. There are separate sections that deal with the repair and overhaul procedures for the engine, fuel system, carburetors, ignition system, clutch, transmission, overdrive, drive shaft, rear axle, suspension, steering and brakes, plus a detailed electrical section including wiring diagrams. There is a comprehensive chapter on routine service, maintenance and tune ups that also includes detailed specification charts. Out-of-print and unavailable for many years and becoming increasingly more difficult to find on the secondary market this is a – must have – reference for this series of Volvo automobiles and we are pleased to be able to offer this reproduction as a service to all Volvo enthusiasts worldwide.

P. S. Ser.: Krakatoa : The Day the World Exploded: August 27 1883 by Simon Winch

The bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman and The Map That Changed the World examines the enduring and world-changing effects of the catastrophic eruption off the coast of Java of the earth’s most dangerous volcano — Krakatoa.The legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa — the name has since become a byword for a cataclysmic disaster — was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly forty thousand people. Beyond the purely physical horrors of an event that has only very recently been properly understood, the eruption changed the world in more ways than could possibly be imagined. Dust swirled round die planet for years, causing temperatures to plummet and sunsets to turn vivid with lurid and unsettling displays of light. The effects of the immense waves were felt as far away as France. Barometers in Bogotá and Washington, D.C., went haywire. Bodies were washed up in Zanzibar. The sound of the island’s destruction was heard in Australia and India and on islands thousands of miles away. Most significant of all — in view of today’s new political climate — the eruption helped to trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-Western militancy among fundamentalist Muslims: one of the first outbreaks of Islamic-inspired killings anywhere.Simon Winchester’s long experience in the world wandering as well as his knowledge of history and geology give us an entirely new perspective on this fascinating and iconic event as he brings it telling back to life.
