Why did the ancient Egyptians harness donkeys instead of horses to their chariots? Why were the first trains considered incredibly dangerous? Who controls the lunar rover from Earth?

This book is an invitation to a grand journey through the eras of transportation. You will learn how humans tamed space and speed: from the first wooden boats to ocean liners, from the steam engine to nuclear submarines.

You will visit the deck of the Vostok sloop, which discovered Antarctica, peer under the dome of the lunar rover, and see the construction of fire trains and the famous Sapsan. You will also learn about the structure of a mail coach and board an ocean liner called a "floating city."

You will hear stories about brilliant engineers, daring sailors, and great inventors who changed the world on land, on water, and in the sky.
