[Duane · Rating 3 out of 5]

Meant for teen and up readers, this book takes each form of transportation forms and discusses the history of, the uses for, and the negative results that come from it. Nice photographs and overflowing with resource information, this book is a nice resource for any reader who is needing to find out more information about the various ways we get around and the possible ways we can improve on it.
