Synopsis "Scream If You Want To Go Faster!. The History and Science of Amusement Parks"

Hold on tight and enjoy the thrills and spills of fairgrounds through the ages!Step right up for an all-access pass to the past, present, and pulse-pounding mechanics of the fairground! This book uncovers the rich history behind theme parks – from the Charter fairs of medieval England to the grand spectacles of Victorian steam-powered rides, through to the wild days of Coney Island and the opening of Disneyland. Meet the inventors and dreamers who applied the forces of physics to create heart-stopping thrills. The science of fairground rides is illuminated with clear explanations of how a steam engine works, for example, what forces are at play on a Ferris wheel and a swing boat and why rollercoasters don’t need engines to soar. The pages are brought to life in the beautiful, warm illustrations of Roozeboos, whose bright colours and energetic linework capture all the fun of the fair. A perfect gift book for young historians, budding scientists and thrill-seekers alike. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
