Synopsis
Excerpt from Every-Day Science, Vol. 7: The Conquest of Time and Space
Doubtless the imaginative mind of the period must have chafed under these restrictions of geographical knowledge; and now and again a more daring navig tor must have pressed out beyond the limits of safety, into the Unknown, never to return. Once at least.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the development of mechanisms and technologies that transformed transportation over land and sea. It details the groundbreaking inventions that enabled humanity to travel farther and faster than ever before - steam locomotion on land, steam propulsion on water, and the conquest of the sky with aeroplanes. The author frames these technological advances within the context of major historical events and cultural shifts, going as far back as the beginnings of geographic exploration and the development of the compass. From the first use of the steam engine to the maiden flights of the Wright brothers, the book illuminates how each phase of human ingenuity in the transportation sector was built on the preceding one. The book discusses the influence of these inventions on societies around the globe, the commercialization of travel, and their impact on global economic development and industrialization. In addition, the author analyzes the impact on society, military strategy, and the course of history itself. Thoroughly researched and packed with anecdotes and historical references, the book provides an enthralling journey through humanity's relentless pursuit of new frontiers in transportation.
