Airplanes, trains, bicycles, rickshaws, sailboats, ocean liners, automobiles, even the Zeppelin -- Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carl Mydans, Andreas Feininger, Margaret Bourke-White, George Silk, and others captured memorable images of these ingenious inventions. Now these photographs of speed and motion are accompanied by excerpts from great authors, including Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Ernest Hemingway, Katherine Anne Porter, John Steinbeck, and Jack Kerouac.-- Transportation holds a universal appeal, evident, for example, in the legions of automobile enthusiasts, Titanic fans, and train and plane buffs. 'On the Move' takes a nostalgic journey through 20th century transportation as documented by 'LIFE' and other photographers and complemented by writings from the century's authors. 96 duotone photos.
