The cab, with two side windows, was one of the most roomy and comfortable in the country at that time.
For years, SeatGuru.com has been the go-to destination for travelers intent on discovering the roomiest seats farthest from the bathrooms, which you can do with a cursory glance at the site’s color-coded airplane maps: green for good seats, yellow for potential drawbacks like misaligned windows or restricted legroom, green and yellow for mixed reviews, red for bad seats.
Over the last two decades, the space between seats — hardly roomy before — has fallen about 10 percent, from 34 inches to somewhere between 30 and 32 inches. Today, some airlines are pushing it even further, leaving only a knee-crunching 28 inches.
So BMW has conjured a tweener — a roomier hatchback on platform shoes, with standard all-wheel drive — to attract customers who crave the 3 Series’ performance but need more utility to close the deal.

General texts on acarology include works by Woolley (1987), Evans (1992), and Krantz and Walter (2009).
Acarology is the study of mites, or Acari or Acarina. It is a specialized field of study in the larger topics of invertebrate zoology and entomology. Because some mites are economically important pests of agriculture (crops, honey bees, stored food products, and livestock), are household pests, or are vectors of diseases of humans and livestock, acarology is often studied in entomology departments.

gloss: A one-to-one correspondence, a function which is both a surjection and an injection.

Note in particular that a function is a bijection if and only if it's both an injection and a surjection.
The basic idea is that two sets A and B have the same cardinality if there is a bijection from A to B. Since the domain and range of the bijection is not relevant here, we often refer to a bijection from A to B as a bijection between the sets, or a one-to-one correspondence between the elements of the sets.
