Description:
From brave scientists exploring the sky to military leaders traversing enemy lines, Richard Holmes' Falling Upwards is a captivating history of pioneering balloonists. Delving into the risks they faced and the insights gained, this book covers everything from early ballooning rivalries to daring long-distance flights. Featuring the inspiring story of dauntless James Glaisher, who flew seven miles above the earth without oxygen, this book is a masterpiece of combining history, art, science, and biography. It is a celebration of what balloons represent: the drive for exploration and the enduring human qualities of courage, imagination, and optimism.
