Maximum Speed

We often take our vehicles for granted, but sometimes we hear about an incredible machine that makes us appreciate the ingenuity of engineers. This high-velocity set takes a close look at record-breaking vehicles, including rockets, airplanes, motorcycles, and cars, as well as the people who build, drive, and pilot them. Each dazzling book, a well-researched combination of history and science, details the evolution of the featured machine and how today's models are engineered for extreme performance. Tables, diagrams, and timelines make critical concepts clear for future engineers. A final chart provides all the speed stats that enthusiasts crave.

• Vehicles of all shapes and sizes are a high-interest lens through which to study physics, technology, and other science subject matter
• Beautifully designed with both eye-catching images and graphics that effectively reflect need-to-know information, especially for the visual learner
• Science and engineering topics provide multiple opportunities to connect readers to elementary science curricula
