David E. Alexander's fascination with the many
animals and plants that have harnessed the air is
evident in Nature's Flyers: Birds, Insects, and
the Biomechanics of Flight, a detailed account
of our current scientific understanding of the primary
aspects of flight in nature. Instead
of relying on elaborate mathematical equations,
Alexander explains the physical basis of flight with
sharp prose and clear diagrams. Drawing upon bats,
birds, insects, pterosaurs, and even winged seeds, he
details the basic operating principles of wings and then
moves progressively through more complex modes of animal
flight, including gliding, flapping, and maneuvering. In
addition to summarizing the latest thinking about
flight's energy costs, Alexander presents a holistic
view of flight and its ramifications as he explores the
ecology and evolution of flying animals, addressing
behaviorally important topics such as migration and
navigation. With somewhat surprising answers, the author
then concludes his study by examining the extent to
which natural flight has been inspiring or instructive
for the architects of human flight—airplane designers
and engineers.
