Description
This Czech-language illustrated encyclopedia of transport is packed with different kinds of cars, aircraft, ships, motorcycles, powerful trucks, utility vehicles and trains that have enabled people to travel farther, faster and more easily, from city bicycles to high-speed trains. Many have made hard work easier and helped transform people’s lives and the places where they live and work. Before the technological age made a major impact on transport, only a small proportion of people travelled beyond their immediate surroundings, and far fewer made long journeys, such as voyages overseas. Today, journeys that once took weeks last only a few hours, and it is possible to travel around the world in a single day. Transport routes connect even the most remote places on Earth, allowing goods to be bought from the other side of the world. Advances in transport have helped people discover and settle new parts of the planet, explore the depths of the oceans, and even travel into space and investigate the universe.
