The Physical Environment Of The Flyer

By Heinz Haber

Book Overview

""The Physical Environment Of The Flyer"" by Heinz Haber is a scientific book that explores the physical environment in which flying creatures exist. The author, who was a physicist and science writer, delves into the aerodynamics of flight, the properties of air and water, and the effects of gravity on flight. He also examines the adaptations that birds, insects, and other flying creatures have developed to survive and thrive in their environments.The book is divided into four parts, with each section focusing on a different aspect of flight. The first section explores the basic principles of flight, such as lift, drag, and thrust. The second section looks at the properties of air and water, including their density, viscosity, and turbulence, and how they affect flight. The third section examines the effects of gravity on flight, including how it affects the shape of wings and the behavior of flying creatures. The final section explores the adaptations that flying creatures have developed to survive in their environments, from the shape of their wings to their ability to navigate using the sun and stars.Throughout the book, Haber uses clear and concise language to explain complex scientific concepts, making it accessible to readers with a general interest in science as well as those with a more specialized background in physics or biology. The book is also illustrated with numerous diagrams and photographs that help to illustrate the concepts being discussed.Overall, ""The Physical Environment Of The Flyer"" is a fascinating exploration of the science of flight and the adaptations that have allowed flying creatures to thrive in a variety of environments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
