"The Problem of Manflight" is a scientific and philosophical book by the famous American writer James Means. In this work, the author considers the problem of human flight from many different points of view - technical, historical, cultural and philosophical. He explores how man's desire to conquer the sky was reflected in the development of aviation, and also uses the concept of flight as a symbolic act of freedom and power. In his book, Means skilfully combines factual data about the history of aviation with analysis of sociocultural trends, which allows him to reveal the wider context and significance of flight for modern society. "The problem of human flight" is an exciting and funny way of opening the inaccessible sky for the reader and learning the truth about oneself through the desire for heights.
