Ilya Kolmanovsky, the author of the beloved "Pocket Scientist" podcasts, a biologist, journalist and head of the biological laboratory of the Polytechnic Museum, wrote a funny and very interesting children's encyclopedia "Why Don't Birds Fall?"
As it often happens, to answer such a seemingly simple question, I had to talk about a lot of different things and concepts. As a result, from this bright (thanks to the excellent illustrations by Alina Ruban) and clear book you can learn all the most interesting things about birds, wings and flights.
What do birds do to fly?
Why do pigeons swallow pebbles?
Where are the hooks on birds and how do they fasten them?
Why do chickens have a keel, and what's good about a small head?
How much does a six year old boy weigh in geese?
How can you fly without flapping your wings?
Where and why do Arctic terns travel?
The book "Why Don't Birds Fall?" is not like a regular encyclopedia: there are no complex terms or long articles. The text is divided into small chapters, and even a novice reader can master each one.
