Beschreibung

"Traces how aeronauts navigated the interstices of politics, culture, science, and gender to repopularize the hot air balloon, an artifact that had fallen in status since its invention. The author shows how French civil society cultivated popular enthusiasm for flight decades before the advent of the airplane, establishing France as the center of pre-World War I aeronautical culture"--
