The question of the origin of wings and flight, their structural concomitants, and the related aerodynamical issues have been confined largely to armchair speculation in a scattered literature. This book draws a empirically-based picture of how insect flight may have evolved.
The hardback edition of this was the first book on insect flight since J W S Pringle''s classic Insect Flight was published in 1957. Much has been written since on applied and ecological aspects of flight, but the question of the origin of wings and flight, their structural concomitants, and the related aerodynamical issues have been confined largely to armchair speculation in a scattered literature. This book is written by a leading authority on insect flight, and for the first time draws a coherent, empirically based picture of how insect flight may have evolved. Following excellent reviews the book is now being made available in paperback.
