About This Item
London, UK: Apollo, 2022. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/None - As Issued. SIGNED BY RICHARD DAWKINS AND JANA LENZOA (illustrator) on book plate on false title page; New book; In this book Dawkins explains how nature and humans have learned to overcome the pull of gravity and take to the skies: from the mythical Icarus, to the sadly extinct but spectacular bird Argenavis magnificens, from the Wright flyer and the 747, to the Tinkerbella fairyfly and the Peregrine falcon. But it is also about flights of the mind, about 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.
