Discover how goods and people travel above, across, and even under the ground, while rockets journey deep into space. Encounter the biggest and smallest vehicles of the land, sea, and sky--from huge oceangoing aircraft carriers to agile drones. Find out what is inside a car engine and how top-of-the-line turbochargers help make the speediest supercars."-- Back cover.
