Description
A celebration of the miraculous phenomenon of flight through fourteen species and across millions of years – from pterosaurs to dragonflies, butterflies to albatross.
Taking Flight is a wonderful journey… An illuminating book written with Lev’s characteristic warmth, I didn’t want this flight to end.” – Jon Dunn, author of The Glitter In The Green
“Lev Parikian’s writing – about the extraordinary wonders of flight – is as magical and uplifting as the aerial dynamics of our tiniest insects and birds.” – Ann Pettifor, author of The Case for the New Green Deal
“This book soars. Lev Parikian illuminates one of the most magical mysteries of the natural world: how birds, bats, and insects break the bounds of Earth and fly through the heavens. His prose is every bit as buoyant as his airborne subjects. With the conversational chops of a storyteller and the authoritative expertise of a scientist, Parikian is a nature writer at the top of his game.” – Steve Brusatte, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs
