Introduction:
The machinery of transport has fascinated mankind since ancient times; from early sailing ships to the most advance moon rockets, the devices which take us from here to there are endlessly studied, modelled, and photographed. This book is a chronological survey of things that float, fly or run on wheels. the social significance of each innovation in transport can be traced in the historical detail. The engines which turn the wheels are also fully described, with the help of dozens of photographs and cutaway drawings, many colour-coded for easier understanding. Other important facets of transport, such as docks, airports and navigation, are also covered, making the Encyclopedia of Transport a truly comprehensive reference book.
