Sinossi
From wheels to rockets—discover the epic human story of chasing speed.
Speed has always fascinated us. Ancient chariots raced through arenas, steam engines shrank continents, airplanes conquered the skies, and rockets carried us beyond Earth itself. But behind every leap was a mix of bold ideas, daring experiments, and ingenious engineering.
In The Chase for Speed: The Science, Engineering, and History of Going Faster, you’ll explore:
How the wheel and chariots created the first “fast machines”
The Industrial Revolution’s steam engines and railroads
The rise of automobiles, highways, and bullet trains
Airplanes, jets, and the race to break the sound barrier
Rockets, the Space Race, and the reusable spacecraft of today
What the future holds—hyperloops, hypersonic planes, and beyond
Told in a lively, story-driven style, this book blends history, science, and human daring into a thrilling ride through time. Whether you’re a student, a teacher, or just love learning how we got faster than ever before, this book will change the way you see speed.
