Transport. On land, on water, and in the sky

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

This book is an invitation to a great journey through the ages of transport development. You will learn how humans tamed space and speed: from the first wooden boats to ocean liners, from steam engines to atomic submarines.

You will visit the deck of the "Vostok" sloop, which discovered Antarctica, peek under the dome of the lunar rover, and see how fire trains and the famous "Sapsan" are arranged. You will also get to know the structure of a mail coach and board an ocean liner, which is called a "floating city".

You can expect stories about brilliant engineers, brave navigators, and great inventors who changed the world on land, on water, and in the sky.
