Cars, trains, ships & planes : a visual encyclopedia of every vehicle
This book is packed with vehicles, craft, and vessels that have enabled people to travel farther, faster, and with greater ease—from the slickest street bike to the most powerful diesel train. Many have played their part in changing people’s lives, and how and where they work and live. Before the development of modern cars, trains, ships, and planes, few people traveled outside of their own neighborhood and even fewer traveled long distances overseas. Today, coast-to-coast journeys that once took weeks take hours, while you can cross the planet in less than a day on a giant jet airliner. Shipping now connects all parts of the globe, enabling you to buy food grown on the other side of the world and many other goods, too. Advances in transportation have helped people explore and settle new lands, make exciting discoveries about our world, and even blast off, leaving the planet altogether to explore the marvels of space.
