Features: The development of transportation and traffic facilities in the 20th century has made contact between people increasingly convenient and fast. In addition to widely accepted modes of transportation such as cars, airplanes, and ships, a large number of new types of transportation have been stepping onto the stage of human society with vigor. Maglev trains, air-cushion vehicles, space shuttles, and more all shimmer with the mysterious aura of high technology. In fact, today and in the near future, they will step out from our books and laboratories to become tools in our daily lives. This book is divided into three parts: "Land Transportation," "Water Transportation," and "Air Transportation." It selects and presents knowledge about high technology and modern transportation from these three sections.
