About this title

Synopsis

Airplanes, trains, bicycles, sailboats, automobiles, and even the Zeppelin: the available methods of transportation have multiplied dramatically over the past century. Some of the greatest photographers of LIFE magazine, among them Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carl Mydans, Andreas Feininger and George Silk, captured memorable images of the ingenious inventions that enable us to go from one place to another. These striking photographs, selected from the Time/LIFE archives provide entertaining yet informative insight on the human quest for motion. Accompanying the images are short excerpts from twentieth-century literature, including quotes from John Steinbeck, David Halberstam, Ernest Hemingway and Jack Kerouac.
