This classic work, first published in 1680, presents the first successful attempt to explain the mechanics of bird flight. Using a combination of careful observation and mathematical analysis, Borelli and his collaborators were able to identify the key factors that enable birds to fly, including wing shape, air pressure, and muscle strength. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the science of flight, as well as for bird enthusiasts of all kinds.
