Blending science with art, this well-illustrated meditation on mankind’s fascination with flight also explores its evolution in nature. Richard Dawkins discusses mythological references, such as Daedalus and Pegasus, and stories of flying carpets, broomsticks and saucers, in addition to the history and physiology of animals ranging from Quetzalcoatlus, the largest airborne dinosaur, to houseflies, whose second pair of wings developed into tiny ‘gyroscopes’.
