by Ian Graham

Published 25 February 1993
This is one of a series which examines the science that underlies objects in the world around us. The book focuses on land machines, including skateboards, motorbikes, cars, maglevs, trams and trains, and discusses how and why they work, each spread developing the information presented in the previous one. Simple experiments are included to give children a chance to see for themselves how the machines work.
