North America's flying squirrels and Australia's sugar gliders
notwithstanding, the vast majority of them live in rainforests.
Illustrated with arresting photographs, Catching Air takes us
around the world to meet these animals, learn why so many gliders
live in Southeast Asia, and find out why this gravity-defying
ability has evolved in Draco lizards, snakes, and frogs as well as
mammals. Why do gliders stop short of flying, how did bats make
that final leap, and how did Homo sapiens bypass evolution to glide
via wingsuits and hang gliders-or is that evolution in another
guise?
