From carriage to rocket. Transport in world history. Sekaninova Sh., Velchovsky T.

All great travels, all inventions and discoveries begin with someone's dream. Long before the first manned ship Vostok-1 with Yuri Gagarin on board, some unknown eccentric and sage invented the wheel in space. We do not know when this happened. However, from that very minute, the counting of the history of world transport began. Its pages can tell a lot about our civilization. Carriages and trains, ships and submarines, bathyscaphe and balloons, airships and helicopters - behind all this are human destinies, mistakes and triumphs. This book with magnificent illustrations by the artist Martin Sodoki reveals for readers the door to the amazing world of technology created by a human genius.
