Product Information

Tony Stark has been battling bad guys and protecting innocent civilians since he first donned his mechanized armour in the 1963 debut of Iron Man in Marvel Comics. Over the years, Stark's suit has allowed him to smash through walls, fly through the air like a human jet, control a bewildering array of weaponry by thought, and perform an uncountable number of other fantastic feats. The man who showed us all what it would take to become Batman probes whether science -- and humankind -- is up to the task of inventing a real-life Iron Man.E. Paul Zehr physically deconstructs Iron Man to find out how we could use modern-day technology to create a suit of armor similar to the one Stark made. Applying scientific principles and an incredibly creative mind to the question, Zehr looks at how Iron Man's suit allows Stark to become a superhero. He discusses the mind-boggling and body-straining feats Iron Man performed to defeat villains like Crimson Dynamo, Iron Monger, and Whiplash and how such acts would play out in the real world. Zehr finds that science is nearing the point where a suit like Iron Man's could be made. But superherodom is not just about technology, and Zehr also discusses our own physical limitations and asks whether or not an extremely well-conditioned person could use Iron Man's armor and do what he doesA scientifically sound look at brain-machine interfaces and the outer limits where neuroscience and neural plasticity meet, Inventing Iron Man is a fun, direct, and parallel comparison of comic book science fiction with modern science. If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to be the ultimate human-machine hero, then this book is for you.

The character of Iron Man represents a compelling and culturally popular interpretation of what may be possible in the future with enhanced prosthetic devices., Zehr's university-based research includes neuroplasticity, akin to neural rewiring, associated with exercise training and rehabilitation. This expertise, combined with Zehr's childlike curiosity and proficiency in martial arts, makes Inventing Iron Man --along with Becoming Batman before it--a fascinating exploration of human potential., Like a true costumed hero, Zehr masks learning in the guise of pop culture enthusiasm... a perfect source to learn about the history of Iron Man and the strength and limits of the human body and brain., Highly commended to all who enjoy a look into the world of superheroes-but science nerds will like it, too., Zehr's university-based research includes neuroplasticity, akin to neural rewiring, associated with exercise training and rehabilitation.

When i purchased the book, the sale listing said it was located 71 miles away from me, which is why i bought it. The listing said DFW. i needed a BIBLE for someone's birthday, so i searched & located a BIBLE in my area, for speedy shipping. Then, It takes 2 days to get shipping information & then the Bible ships out of Illinois, and hasn't shown up yet. Now says NEXT WEEK. U lied to sell a BIBLE. The seller wouldn't respond when i asked why they lied about location, so negative feedback it is.
