Description

After Leonardo da Vinci's sketches for a flying machine, it would take almost three hundred years until the Montgolfier brothers ascended into the skies. The authors' approach the phenomenon of air from many different angles. The focus is on modern pioneering achievements in science, architecture and design: how we have discovered air as a bulding material or the most recent technical applications, in pneumatics, to take one example.
