A visual guide to how transportation works

Cars, trains, ships, and aircraft are explored through detailed 3D illustrations that reveal their mechanisms and interiors, from a car engine to an ocean liner’s decks. The book also introduces a wide range of vehicles by land, sea, and air, including record-setting examples and craft powered by green energy. Its scope connects the workings of individual machines with the many ways people and goods move around the world, while also looking toward transportation designs of the future.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in vehicles and how they work
  • Young readers who enjoy detailed visual nonfiction
  • Kids curious about transportation records and green-energy craft

Book overview

"Knowledge Encyclopedia: Transportation! uses incredibly detailed 3D illustrations to show you everything you need to know about how vehicles work. Peer inside a car engine, feel the roar of a jet, watch a helicopter's rotor create lift, and explore below the decks of an ocean liner. Meet hundreds of vehicles that float, fly, or speed across the land, including the record breakers--the fastest, largest, longest, and strangest modes of transportation ever to zoom, sail, or soar. And check out current and future craft that use green energy to transport people and goods around the world."--
