Icarus, having been taught to fly by his father Daedalus, was destroyed by his rashness. I fear that the same fate may overtake the populations whom modern men of science have taught to fly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bertrand Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1515452654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781515452652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilder Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.08d\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Bertrand Russell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981792936191,"sku":"9781515452652","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30ceb9cd-1f88-4f13-8614-0e3569f2ceef.jpg?v=1683257548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/icarus-or-the-future-of-bertrand-russell-9781515452652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
