Product Description
"...they write better and their book is more accessible to Bond fans." (Publishers Weekly, June 19, 2006)
"...the book is an entertaining read" (The James Bond Journal, Issue 4)
Product Description
The science behind the gadgets, exploits, and enemies of the world′s greatest spy
From the sleek Aston Martin that spits out bullets, nails, and passengers at the push of a button to the microjet that makes hairpin turns to avoid a heat–seeking missile, the science and technology of James Bond films have kept millions of movie fans guessing for decades. Are these amazing feats and gadgets truly possible?
The Science of James Bond takes you on a fascinating excursion through the true science that underlies Bond′s most fantastic and off–the–wall accoutrements. The acclaimed science–fiction authors Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg provide a highly entertaining, informative look at the real–world achievements and brilliant imaginations behind such singular Bond gadgets as the buzz–saw Rolex, the car that turns into a submarine, and the ever–popular rocket–firing cigarette. They examine hundreds of Q Division′s ingenious inventions; analyze Bond′s astonishing battles beneath the earth and sea, in the skies, and even in outer space; and ask intriguing questions that lead to enlightening discussions about the limits of science, the laws of nature, and the future of technology.
Filled with entertaining anecdotes from Bond movie shoots and supplemented with "tech" ratings for all of the Bond movies, The Science of James Bond separates scientific fact from film fantasy––with some very surprising results.
