Publisher's Summary:

Starting to Date Itself

I first heard about this book on Boing Boing and podcasts a couple years back. It sounded awesome to me. Dammit, where IS my jetpack? If you've been hiding for the last ten years perhaps there's a lot here still to find fresh. But much of these trails have been well mapped.

Worse, there's still futurism here disconnected from the cultural and social world that propels the subject. The zest for the Reasons Why at the beginning break down and pretty soon we're being regaled with stories of the absurd fantastic. So we're building houses on artificial islands in the Gulf? How's the market for that going? What's the environmental impact? Underwater hotels? The rooms exist but they're not doing brisk business.

In the meantime, James Cameron shoots to the bottom of the ocean in a torpedo sub.

Hopefully Wilson is working on a follow-up--rather than a new forward--that cuts a little deeper than this light compendium.

Just Lots of Fun

This book is not a deep contemplation of the way in which predictions of the future simultaneously over-estimate and under-estimate future capability. This tendency is because predictions of the future tend to overestimate progress in better understood dimensions, while egregiously underestimating progress along new dimensions. The jetpack is a great example of this tendency. It's an almost boringly simple technology compared to all the advances in computing that have happened, yet we don't have jetpacks for largely economic reasons. This phenomenon is an important topic for entrepreneurs and technology leaders and for some reason when I bought the book I was expecting an explanation of this issue.

Instead the book is a rather systematic exploration of the real science behind the top 40 childhood tech. fanatics of the baby boomers. It's meant to be a light fun read; a summer book for the balding or graying geek. It succeeds.

Delightful

The humor used in this look at our "somewhat disappointing future" really helps to put things into perspective. The outline is easily followed while listening and the reader has a wonderful low and lilting voice. "Fun Facts" are just that - fun. Anyone who has ever wondered about that stuff science fiction is made of should find comfort in this book.

slightly dated, but very funny

Book about future tech from 2007 so there's that... But was a great listen otherwise!

I always wanted my own jetpack!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend it as an entertaining and enlightening read/listening experience. Some of my lifelong questions were answered. Now I known why we are not commuting by jetpack.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Atomes et lumière.

Par son itinéraire personnel et scientifique Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, prix Nobel de physique 1997, retrace un demi-siècle d'évolution de la physique quantique. Sur ce sujet nul n'est mieux placé que lui, qui en a extrait les applications les plus caractéristiques et les plus étonnantes à la fois: la domestication - et en particulier le refroidissement - des atomes à l'aide de la lumière.La genèse de ces résultats révolutionnaires - dont les applications commencent seulement à poindre aujourd'hui - constitue un témoignage unique sur le développement de la physique et des techniques du XXe siècle.

Les intervenants

Né en 1933, à Constantine en Algérie, d'une famille qui lui donnera les "valeurs de l'étude, de la connaissance et de la transmission du savoir",

fait ses études en Algérie puis à l'Ecole Normale Supérieure à Paris. Parti pour étudier les mathématiques, la rencontre avec Alfred Kastler le dirige vers la physique. Il devient un membre éminent du laboratoire "Kastler-Brossel". Pour toute une génération de physiciens actuels, les termes de physique quantique évoquent immédiatement son nom. Non seulement pour l'enseignement et la formation qu'il a prodigués dans cette discipline ; mais aussi pour les résultats de ses recherches qui, toujours à la limite d'une technologie de pointe, ont permis de valider la physique quantique et d'en explorer les aspects fondamentaux bien souvent déroutants, notamment à propos des interactions matière - rayonnement. Professeur au Collège de France à partir 1973, membre de l'Académies des Sciences, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji a reçu de très nombreuses distinctions dont le prix Nobel de Physique en 1997.

Né à Vérone en 1956,

est professeur à l'Université de la Méditerranée (Marseille) et au centre de Physique théorique de Luminy (CNRS). Ses travaux portent sur la gravité qui vise à réconcilier la relativité générale et la théorie quantique. Il est l'auteur de

Members Reviews:

Just what I needed for a career change

Loved Learning the eLearning instructional designers love to share and are addicted learners! Some quick tips

Great book for getting started with elearning

Keep in mind, that this is NOT a book about taking an elearning course - it is about creating one. That worked out well for me, but if you're thinking about researching books about how to approach an elearning class - this won't help you.

This is a really good, quick read for anyone who is thinking of creating an elearning program. As a beginning programmer, I was intrigued by the author's suggestions. The author presents 26 basic, but intelligent, ideas in a short book.

Members Reviews:

Not what I'd hoped for

The book's description didn't indicate the "hacks" included are written exclusively for "Windows" users (I'm a Linux OS user). Furthermore, the only reference to Python was introducing it as a high level language. There were no suggestions for writing usable Python scripts.

I didn't learn anything from the Tor manual that I hadn't already discovered in open source on the web.

Mitnick's books contain some good info, but they are really set up for introducing topics that are for the absolute neophyte. For those seeking some in-depth hands-on learning, there are probably some better resources available.
