The Wonder of Flight. 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.

Richard dawkins är en riktigt mysig och rolig gubbe. Han kan knöka in väldigt mycket relevant och intressant information i en liten bok.

Dawkins läser sin egna bok så väl. Jag är ett stort fan av honom. Jag vet att boken är klassad som barnbok, men den är i så fall till tonåring eller ung vuxen. Jag är 50, vetenskapintresserad och lärde mig massor.
