About this ebook
Soaring thousands of feet above sea level in nothing but a fabric suit? It sounds crazy, but it's the reality of modern human flight. Action-packed photos and engaging text propel readers through this high-interest (and high-flying) angle on STEM.

Tim Harris
Tim Harris has been fascinated by bird migration since as a young boy he witnessed Swallows flying in off the sea at Selsey Bill, while terns streamed past and recently arrived warblers sang from scrub. He has since been birding in more than 40 countries and has been inspired over and over again by the sights and sounds of migration on all the world's major migration flyways. Tim was Deputy Editor of Birdwatch magazine between 1992 and 2000. He contributed to National Geographic's Complete Birds of the World, and has written numerous articles and children's books about birds.
