Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Predicting how the business world might evolve is itself a multi-million-dollar business. Plenty of gurus, academics and snake-oil salesmen will tell you all about the future for a price. What the experts overlook is that the future is already here. Chances are the products and services of tomorrow are available now to a very limited clientele at a top-secret research institute near you. Throughout history, war and its threat have driven innovation and the uptake of new technology from the ancient swordsmiths who pioneered the use of iron to the Pentagon bureaucrats who funded the early internet. And since 1945 the relationship between military needs and modern business has grown ever closer. As well as telling the story of technology transfer in the past, Hambling explores the cutting edge of modern military research. Throughout he seeks to identify the technologies that will transform business and society in the decades to come. If history does repeat itself, Weapons Grade will be a book about the future of business with a difference: rather than learning more about the shape of current preoccupations, Hambling's readers will discover something about the future of business. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Near Fine. 1st Edition. First American edition. Clean and unmarked. Very slightly spine cocked. Dj lightly rubbed, not price clipped. 402 pages. David Hambling tells the fascinating story of human ingenuity and the complex world it has created-a world at once safer and yet more perilous than ever. Throughout history, war and the threat of war have driven innovation and accelerated the uptake of new technology-from the nomadic warriors who introduced the stirrup and the kebab to the world, to the British Navy's funding of Marconi's newfangled radio. Since 1945 the relationship between military needs and modern business has grown ever closer, especially in the United States. With the skills of a master storyteller, Hambling traces the history of this relationship in the modern era and shows how precision eye surgery emerged out of the military quest for a ''death ray,'' how transistors and silicon chips initially helped build better bombs, and exactly why the 747 has such a distinctive shape. Hambling explores the current cutting edge of modern military research as he seeks to identify the technologies that will transform our lives in the decades to come. Contents: 1. Rocket science : V-2 to E4. 2. Air raids to airliners. 3. Computing : codebreaking to netsurfing. 4. Death rays to DVDs. 5. Ultimate power. 6. Flights of fancy. 7. UFOs and secret technology. 7. The next computing revolution. 8. Non-lethal death rays. 9. Vortex rings. 10. Mach 10 airliners and space tourism. 11. Information warfare. 12. Catching new waves. 13. Robots in the air. 14. Tools for terrorists. 15. Nanotechnology : the future is small.…
