How to fly - an afternoon talk with Simon Barnes
Event details
About the event
Join us for an afternoon with author and journalist Simon Barnes. Simon will be discussing his new book ‘How to Fly’ exploring the wonders of flight and the way different species have evolved different solutions to the problem of defying gravity, including humans. Hear about the nocturnal agility of bats, bees beating their wings 230 times per second, the extinct reptile quetzalcoatlus with its 10-metre wingspan and the Arctic terns that travel 75,000km every year. Simon brings together all aspects of aerial life evolution, technology, mythology, religion, nature and imagination in a celebration of the wonders of flight.
