Requests:  0 Summary:  "Paula Grey explores how creative thinkers--sometimes collaborating, sometimes competing, and always building on the work of their predecessors--have envisioned new ways to move about in the world. From the first foot migration out of Africa to the Model T Ford, hot air balloons, submarines, rickshaws, and moon rockets, humans have combined imagination, daring, and scientific and technical knowledge to improve existing vehicles or create new ones. Geography, culture, and available technologies have all influenced the development and use of vehicles in different parts of the world, and human travel has, in turn, often had a profound influence on society and the environment"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 629.04609 Grey Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.04609 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
