'In each article, following a time-hallowed formula, he takes somescientific quirk and fashions from it an invention which, although delightfullycuckoo, leaves th reader with the nagging feeling that it might just work...Ithink this book should be compulsory reading for research directors. They wouldcertainly get their money's worth, for no fewer than 148 inventions aredescribed. But on no account should they, or you, attempt to read them at onesitting. To do so would run the grave risk of boggle overload.' s, 'In each article, following a time-hallowed formula, he takes some scientific quirk and fashions from it an invention which, although delightfully cuckoo, leaves th reader with the nagging feeling that it might just work...I think this book should be compulsory reading for research directors.They would certainly get their money's worth, for no fewer than 148 inventions are described.

Synopsis
A compilation and embellishment of about 100 selected 'Daedalus' schemes, written by Jones. They first appeared in New Scientist in the mid-sixties and transferred to Nature some ten years ago. The Daedalus pieces harness accepted scientific principles in pursuit of apparently fantastic technical goals. While these flights of fancy are entertaining they have a serious purpose, raising questions in the reader's mind. An earlier collection, The Inventions of Daedalus (W H Freeman, 1982), sold 10,000 copies. Like the earlier book, this new one comprises the selected original article together with a 'From Daedalus's Notebook' piece, written especially for the book, buttressing the proposal with background material, data, calculations, references, and so on, and a cartoon illustration., One of the longest-running jokes on the scientific scene, the "Daedalus" column began in New Scientist in the mid-1960s and transferred to Nature in the 1980s. Each week it offers a new scheme to challenge accepted notions of scientific principles, schemes that are neither feasible nor completely absurd. Always entertaining, the Daedalus schemes often have a serious purpose and raise crucial questions about science (sample title: "A Womb with a View, or At Least a Phone"). This delightful book compiles roughly one hundred of David Jones's popular columns, each of which exhibits a keen and approachable mixture of entertaining and thought-provoking material. Like the collection of articles that came before it, this work will appeal to a broad audience of the scientifically curious., One of the longest-running jokes on the scientific scene, the "Daedalus" column began in New Scientist in the mid-1960s and transferred to Nature in the 1980s. Each week it offers a new scheme to challenge accepted notions of scientific principles, schemes that are neither feasible nor completely absurd. Always entertaining, the Daedalus schemes often have a serious purpose and raise crucial questions about science (sample title: "A Womb with a View, or At Least a Phone"). This delightful book complies roughly one hundred of Dr. David Jones's popular columns and, like the collection that came before it, the work should appeal to a broad audience of the scientifically curious., If so, or indeed if not, then Daedalus is your man. This book brings together 148 of his highly scientific proposals on these and allied matters. Daedalus, the court jester in the palace of science and engineering, began his amazing career in 1964 in the weekly magazine New Scientist. His remit, brilliantly achieved, was to confuse the scientific community in general. In 1988 he graduated to The Guardian and also to the prestigious pages of Nature, where he bamboozles the Nobel prizewinners. His delusive proposals steam boldly out along the solid track of accepted science and technology, but somehow rapidly go off the rails -- or do they? This second compilation of his finest schemes includes a look at one from his first compilation (The Inventions of Daedalus, 1982) which did indeed wind up in the Nobel prize lists.
