Imagine standing in a place in Europe thousands of years ago, not far from the coast. Ox carts rumble along the muddy road. In the distance, a small sailboat bobs in the waves. Time flies, and people have built roads and bridges, as well as a small dock where ships can dock in the harbor. Gradually, people can travel farther, faster, and more comfortably. The stories in this book are like a journey, but it's not an ordinary journey—you don't need to take a plane, car, or steamship. In fact, you can travel through time without leaving your home! Open the book, and time flies by your fingertips: hours, days, or even years. Each moment—meaning each stop in your journey—is a new chapter in the story: the earliest three-wheeled and four-wheeled carriages, sailing ships, canals, and railways; the invention of steam engines; the appearance of steam locomotives and steamships; the arrival of cars; the conquest of the sky by airplanes; the construction of docks, airports, and drawbridges—all telling the story of transportation.
