Detailed Product Description
New York, Pantheon, 2013, 1st US edition. 404 pp, b/w and color illustrations, 12 photo plates, maps, bibliography, notes, index. Hardcover with dust jacket. Fine. Nominally a history of the hot air balloon, Falling Upwards is really a history of hope and fantasy - and the quixotic characters who disobeyed that most fundamental laws of physics and gave humans flight.
