Summary "Der Weltverkehr" by Michael Geistbeck is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the development of modern transportation and communication systems, focusing on telegraphy, postal services, railways, and shipping methods. Geistbeck's aim appears to be to provide a comprehensive overview of these topics, especially for educational purposes. The opening of the book introduces the author’s motivation for writing, highlighting a lack of accessible resources on contemporary modes of transportation and communication during that period. Geistbeck presents a structured examination of various aspects, beginning with the history of telegraphy, showing how ancient methods of communication evolved into modern systems. The chapter starts by discussing the use of optical signals in early civilizations and follows through to the establishment of electric telegraphs, marking significant milestones and contributors to the field, such as Samuel Morse. Through meticulous detail, the author sets the stage for an exploration of the broader implications of these advancements in global connectivity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
