Falling Upwards
How the Romantics Took to the Air
A new book from the popular science writer and biographer, charting the history of hot air ballooning. In the 18th and 19th century, the pioneer generation of aviators allowed us to ponder for the first time on weather prediction, observation of the stars from an aerial dimension, and the exploration of remote continents. From the author of The Age Of Wonder. Also published in paperback this month.
