The science of evolution. From both, Richard Dawkins weaves a fascinating account of how nature and humans have learned to overcome the pull of gravity and take to the skies. 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? In Flights of Fancy, Richard 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 Argentavis 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.--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Flight. 700 1 $a Lenzova, Jana, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220802011242.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220604010048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D936314E3CB11ECB2E80CFF26ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
