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. Fascinating and beautifully illustrated, this is a unique collaboration between one of the world's leading scientists and a talented artist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42310232834254,"sku":"9781838937850","price":39.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/files\/9781838937850_a.jpg?v=1702526858","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.live\/products\/flights-of-fancy-9781838937850","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
