Overview

Attractively laid out on illustration-filled pages with texts that speak clearly to their subjects, these books review the technological achievements that have helped to shape history. Each book has between 70 and 110 photos, modern illustrations of historical events, and reproductions of famous illustrations from the past.

This fun-to-read volume starts with the first steam-driven vehicle developed in England in 1808, then describes the first passenger railway, also in England, which began service in 1833. The evolution of early steam locomotives in Europe and American is reviewed, and the diesel and electric powered trains of today are described and shown in fascinating illustrations.
