This entry from the Cutting Edge Technology series is a detailed look at the advances that are being made in the designs of planes, trains, and automobiles, not to mention marine vehicles and spacecraft. First, a visual time line gives readers a look back at the progress that has been made in transportation history, starting in 3,500 BCE with the invention of the wheel. The book then goes on to discuss both individual vehicles like electric and hybrid cars, high-speed trains, drones, and China's elevated buses, as well as the innovations and general progress being made in the transportation areas. Attention is also paid to the topics of pollution and emissions, making for a well-rounded picture. The material is interesting and solidly presented, though it will perhaps be the reader already interested in the subject who will get the most out of it. More photos would have been welcome, but those present are pertinent, and the book has a clean design. A good resource for reports, and a smart offering for future engineers.
