Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles how humans finally achieved aerial navigation in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The author, Lawrence Rotch, traces the history of ballooning from its humble beginnings with the Montgolfier brothers to the first successful manned flight by Pilâtre de Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlandes. More than just a dry recounting of facts and figures, this book explores the social and scientific context of these early aeronautical experiments, revealing how the invention of the balloon was part of a larger cultural fascination with the possibilities of flight. Rotch also examines the scientific discoveries made possible by these early ascents, such as the existence of atmospheric currents and the composition of the air at high altitudes. Ultimately, this book offers a glimpse into the pioneering spirit of these early aeronauts and their pivotal role in the development of aviation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780282595005_0
