DK Eyewitness Books: Car: Discover the Story of Cars―from the Earliest Horseless Carriages to the Modern S

DK Eyewitness Books

by Elizabeth Baquedano, Richard Sutton

Cars have come a long way in the century or so since they were invented. This superb collection of specially commissioned photographs shows how cars have changed and developed, from the dangers of the early pioneering models to the complicated speedsters of today. See a horseless carriage and boneshaker, the elegant classics of the 1930s, and the family cars of the 1950s. Every aspect of the car's story is illustrated by a detailed look at a particular car, such as the Model T Ford, a vintage Rolls Royce, and a 1930s Holden. Discover the story of cars­­­­­—from horseless carriages to modern sport cars.

واقعا فکرش رو نمی‌کردم یه روز به خاطر بچه سه ساله‌م کتاب ماشین بخونم خلاصه‌ش رو برای اونم توضیح بدم 🥺
این کتاب توی ایران توسط انتشارات سایان ترجمه شده. ترجمه خوب بود ولی از نظر ویراستاری ایراد زیاد داشت.
اگه به ماشین علاقه داشته باشین کتاب خیلی خوبیه‌.

Part of my plans for this new year include expanding my overall knowledge of how things work. Specifically cars. This book was a helpful introduction into the history and parts of the car. I enjoyed going through the journey the pages presented. I may just read it again.

Good, but a hint boring

My son slept with this book under his pillow. I would say he liked it. I can't blame him; the photographs are stunning.

I skipped a lot of the smaller descriptions, but I read the main part on every page... ugh

An interesting book about the history of cars. A good book for your kids.

The only complaint I have about DK books is that I (could) never read enough of them, nor will I be able to do it often enough.
