Reach for this book when your child is in a phase of deep curiosity about how things work or when you are planning a trip and want to expand their concept of travel beyond the family car. It is a perfect solution for the 'why' and 'how' questions that arise when a child notices the complexity of the world's infrastructure. This visual encyclopedia introduces eighty distinct ways humans move across the globe, from ancient chariots to futuristic space shuttles. Beyond just a list of vehicles, the book fosters a sense of global wonder and historical appreciation.
