520    "The Aeronauts is the true story behind the forthcoming 
       Major Motion Picture of the death-defying adventures of 
       pioneering Victorian balloonist and scientist James 
       Glaisher. In 1862, ambitious scientist James Glaisher set 
       out to do the impossible: ascend higher into the skies 
       than ever before to establish his ground-breaking 
       research. Glaisher's death-defying journey forms the story
       of the forthcoming Major Motion Picture The Aeronauts, 
       starring Eddie Redmayne as Glaisher and Felicity Jones as 
       his balloon companion, Amelia Wren. Written in his own 
       words, The Aeronauts chronicles Glaisher's incredible 
       flights and discoveries first hand, as well as his 
       observations on the pioneers who came before and inspired 
       him. With an introduction by Professor Liz Bentley, Chief 
       Executive at the Royal Meteorological Society, of which 
       Glaisher was a founding member in 1850"-- Provided by
