It presents a comprehensive examination of natural movement alongside the technological innovations employed by humans to enhance their mobility. The opening of the book introduces the concept of universal movement, emphasizing that all things in nature are in constant motion. Deharme discusses the different types of movement seen in the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms, illustrating how humans, endowed with intelligence, seek to dominate and utilize the forces of nature to facilitate their own movement.
