Shaken, Not Stirred! : James Bond in the Spotlight of Physics Paperback / softback

Part of the Science and Fiction series

Paperback / softback

Description

How do James Bond’s X-ray glasses work, the ones he uses to see whether the lady at the roulette table has a pistol concealed in her underwear?

Is it really possible to launch oneself into the air and catch up with a plane that is free-falling towards the earth? Or to shoot down a helicopter with a pistol? In this lively and informative book, Germany's boldest physics professor Metin Tolan analyses the stunts and gadgets of the 007 films and even answers the question of all questions: Why does Bond drink his vodka martini shaken, not stirred?"So much entertaining science is a rare thing." Spiegel Online
