Science and technology have always been central to the plots that make up the world of Bond, and in Superspy Science Kathryn Harkup explores the full range of 007's exploits and the arms, technologies, tactics and downfalls of his various foes. From the practicalities of building a volcano-based lair, to whether being covered in gold paint really will kill you, and - if your plan is to take over the world - whether it is better to use bacteria, bombs, or poison - this book has all the answers and more. Could our favourite Bond villains actually achieve world domination? Were the huge variety of weapons and technology in Bond's arsenal from both the films and books ever actually developed in real life? And would 007 actually escape all those close shaves intact? From the plots to the gadgets to the ludicrous ways that his life is threatened, Superspy Science takes an in-depth look at the scientific world of James Bond." -- Amazon.com. 520 $a Investigating the science behind the escapades of James Bond and his foes. 600 10 $a Fleming, Ian, $d 1908-1964 $x Characters. 600 10 $a Bond, James $c (Fictitious character) $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000453084834 600 17 $a Bond, James $c (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00835871 600 17 $a Fleming, Ian, $d 1908-1964. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00000997 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature and science $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Science $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Science in literature. 650 7 $a Characters and characteristics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00852293 650 7 $a Literature and science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000093 650 7 $a Science. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108176 650 7 $a Science in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108731 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021817.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011145.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20221203011121.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5FC1108A72D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
