520    "The hot-air balloon, invented by the Montgolfier brothers
       in 1783, launched for the second time just days before the
       Treaty of Paris would end the American Revolutionary War. 
       The ascent in Paris--a technological marvel witnessed by a
       diverse crowd that included Benjamin Franklin--highlighted
       celebrations of French military victory against Britain 
       and ignited a balloon mania that swept across Europe at 
       the end of the Enlightenment. This popular frenzy for 
       balloon experiments, which attracted hundreds of thousands
       of spectators, fundamentally altered the once elite 
       audience for science by bringing aristocrats and commoners
       together. The Imagined Empire explores how this material 
       artifact, the flying machine, not only expanded the public
       for science and spectacle but inspired utopian dreams of a
       republican monarchy that would obliterate social 
       boundaries. The balloon, Mi Gyung Kim argues, was a people
       -machine, a cultural performance that unified and 
       mobilized the people of France, who imagined an aerial 
       empire that would bring glory to the French nation. This 
       critical history of ballooning considers how a relatively 
       simple mechanical gadget became an explosive cultural and 
       political phenomenon on the eve of the French Revolution"-
