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?
‘Shaken, Not Stirred! James Bond in the Spotlight of Physics’ by Metin Tolan & Joachim Stolze, will be published on 29 September, 2020 by Springer International Publishing.
