The latest in our How... series takes to the waves to reveal the
wonders of ships, boats and ferries and answers the questions of
how they do what they do, what they're used for and how they have
changed over time. Featuring fantastic artwork by celebrated
illustrator James Gulliver Hancock, words by author Clive Gifford
and loads of flaps to lift, this is the quintessential kids guide
to all things ships! Raise anchor as you set sail through the ages,
from wooden paddle boats and tiny coracles to swanky mega-yachts
with helipads and paddle steamers in this companion to How Airports
Work and How Trains Work. From gigantic cruise liners to beautiful
sailing ships, young readers will travel through history and around
the world to find out everything they ever wanted to know about
ships. Lift the flaps to unfurl papyrus sails on an Ancient
Egyptian ship sailing up the Nile, tour a historic Spanish galleon,
zoom across the water at almost 320 miles per hour in a speedboat,
and much more. See how ships stay afloat, cultivate wind power, and
navigate using just the stars. Learn all about how the first simple
boats carved out of tree trunks evolved into the giant super yachts
and cruise liners of today, and take a look at the limitless
possibilities of the ships of the future. How Ships Work is
jam-packed with amazing facts and awesome illustrations, and was
created in consultation with the National Maritime Museum, UK.
