Go! Book

An innovative exploration of the world of travel, Go! inspires the reader to take a fresh look at everyday transport. It peels back the roof of a jumbo jet, follows a day in the life of Grand Central Terminal, pulls apart a classic car, and looks at the luxury of life aboard a modern cruise ship. A historical context is provided by timelines, which open each chapter, while astonishing facts and detailed descriptions explain modern transport methods and networks. Stunning new photography and illustrations take the reader on an amazing visual journey, and ten inventive foldout features add to the dynamic concept of this exciting and original book. Go! is divided into three thematic chapters: Water, Land, and Air. Within each section the types of transport within these areas are extensively explored. Technology is explained, and exploded anatomies of selected vehicles show just how complex - or simple - their mechanics are. The social and environmental impact of different methods of transport is examined, and first-hand accounts from passengers and workers bring to life photographic chronologies of an airport, train station, a metro system, bus depot, and ferry.
