### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Captivating illustrations of aviation history!
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2013*

I bought this for my 14 year old son, who has been interested in aviation and aerospace since he was 4. When I gave it to him, he opened it up and immediately pronounced it, "Cool!" This is a major accomplishment for a mom of a teen, who is used to reactions ranging from apathy to disgust. Certainly, the format doesn't lend itself to a highly detailed account of aviation history, but this book is a true feast for the eyes, and should bring pleasure to aviation enthusiasts of most any age.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Gorgeous abridged history of flight
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013*

This is a beautiful fold out booklet with wonderful illustrations depicting an abridged history of the world of human flight. I'd love to frame it for the wall - the only problem is both sides are equally enchanting!

    Stimulating Visual Format That Covers Milestones In The Evolution Of Flight And Also Captures Related Historical Events
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017*

It took me some time to fully appreciate High Times, but I think it's an interesting leoprello or concertina style book given its unique format that presents a creative and thought provoking perspective on flight and related historical events over the ages. I think of High Times as a more sophisticated picture book where the material is printed on thick stock with panels that fold and unfold like accordion pleats rather than being a bound book with regular pages. High Times has an outer jacket with four panels that open to show via illustration and short narrative a condensed history of flight from ancient to modern times- beginning with ancient Greek mythology about Icarus falling from the sky and ending with the termination of the Space Shuttle program. A separate panoramic pullout that's ten panels long (but is double sided, so actually 20 panels) corresponds in order with the events in the jacket but uses illustration only to elaborate on the jacket content.High Times isn't a comprehensive aviation history. It's a condensed version especially suited to younger readers, yet it still provides a solid overview of milestones in the technological evolution of flight. By depicting when and how humankind has used its flight technology, High Times also captures important historical events, including the Vietnam War, the World Wars, the "Candy Bomber" when the Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin, the Cold War, space exploration and so much more. High Times also shows an evolution of humankind's thought about flight. An obvious example is how the one end of the time line depicts Icarus falling from the sky and shows a lack of technology but a great fascination with flight dating back to ancient times, while the other end shows in modern times the advanced capability of flying to the moon but a complacency or waning interest signified by the termination of the Space Shuttle program.The art in High Times uses geometric and basic shapes and is somewhat simplistic in color and form, but it's a bright and busy picture with lots of interesting concepts and details to pour over, and it does an excellent job transitioning between events in the time line. I appreciate it's content as it captures the reality of flight by including a broad spectrum of events, such as onlookers watching new flying machines with excitement, fighter and bomber planes used for war, plane crashes, the use of the helicopter for rescue and the passenger jet for travel, man walking on the moon and much more. Not every event is happy, but I see nothing gory and don't think this would be an authentic work if hardships or any negativity associated with flight were censored from a historical piece. I like High Times a lot and think it's a thought provoking leporello book that- especially with some adult input- provides plenty of information to stimulate and teach youngsters about flight and related historical events.Note: Although not toxic smelling, the printed material has a strong smell that reminds me of the smell of newsprint but stronger. After almost 2 weeks, it's dissipated some but hasn't disappeared.
