The automobile has always belonged on the road. From the very beginning, when it came into practical use, there were also daredevils who, after modifications, tried to conquer water on their own. The publication is a guide with illustrations, but also an encyclopedia of amphibious vehicles. It maps the area of military, off-road and passenger vehicles capable of overcoming watercourses under their own power. This part of automotive history and the present has not yet been processed on the domestic book market. The content explains the theoretical foundations of vehicle movement in water, through the history of the emergence of amphibians to the technical parameters of military, off-road and passenger amphibious vehicles from the pre-war period to the present. The authors also recall remarkable amateur creations and expeditions. Recommended reading for adventurous natures, but perhaps also a non-standard topic for planning a vacation for next year.<\/p>\n
