Rated by buyers -
Part of the outstanding "Exploring Community History" series from the Krieger Publishing Company, Getting Around: Exploring Transportation History was meticulously researched and accessibly written by H. Roger Grant to provide the reader with an adventurous and informative historical survey of the evolution of various transit venues, ranging from natural waterways and roads, to canals, railroads, aviation, and more. Black-and-white photographs nicely illustrate this detailed and thoughtful chronology encompassing landmark inventions, famous personalities, and tragic accidents down through the centuries. An insightful look at a vital piece of human history which is also available in a trade paperback format, Getting Around is a very welcome contribution to the History of Transportation and a highly recommended addition to any personal, academic, or community library collection.
