Richard Dawkins on how nature and humans have learned to overcome
the pull of gravity and take to the skies. 'A masterly
investigation of all aspects of flight, human and animal... A
beautifully produced book that will appeal across age groups'
Alexander McCall Smith 'Dawkins has always been an extraordinarily
muscular, persuasive thinker.What feels new here is that he writes
with such charm and warmth' The TimesHave you ever dreamt you could
fly? Or imagined what it would be like to glide and swoop through
the sky like a bird? Do you let your mind soar to unknown, magical
spaces? Richard Dawkins explores the wonder of flight: from the
mythical Icarus, to the sadly extinct but spectacular bird
Argentavis magnificens, from the Wright flyer and the 747, to the
Tinkerbella fairyfly and the Peregrine falcon. But he also explores
flights of the mind and escaping the everyday - through science,
ideas and imagination. Fascinating and beautifully illustrated,
this is a unique collaboration between one of the world's leading
scientists and a talented artist.
