FLIGHTS OF FANCY - RICHARD DAWKINS KARTONIERT (TB)

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 Times   Have 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.
