James Glaisher was a pioneering meteorologist and aeronaut most famous for his daring balloon ascents. His work focused on systematically measuring atmospheric temperature and humidity at high altitudes. Glaisher's meticulous records from these expeditions contributed to a deeper understanding of atmospheric conditions, and his experiments pushed the boundaries of scientific knowledge at the time. He was a founder and driving force behind several significant scientific societies, leaving a lasting legacy in meteorology and aeronautics.

In 1862, ambitious scientist James Glaisher set out to do the impossible: ascend higher into the skies than ever before. A pioneer of weather forecasting and of photography, he wanted to take ground-breaking research measurements from different altitudes. Before aeroplanes, the only unpredictable available method of air transportation was the hot air balloon. This is his memoir, detailing death-defying air ballon journeys in his own words. Soon to be a movie starring Eddie Redmayne as Glaisher.
