Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xvi, 239, [1] pages. Illustrations. Foreword by James Spiller. Index. Covering the exposition industry as Exhibitor magazine?s Senior Writer since 2002, Charles Pappas has become one of the preeminent authorities on the World Expo. He was a consultant to Expo… 2020 Dubai, Minneapolis? bid for Expo 2027, and that city?s current bid for the 2031 International Horticultural Expo. He took part in the Fellows Program at the United States Pavilion in Dubai and also made multiple media appearances on behalf of the U.S. Pavilion?s Expo unit there. Pappas? books, ?Flying Cars, Zombie Dogs, and Robot Overlords? and ?Expo 2020 Dubai: The Definitive Edition,? probe how world exhibitions have shaped history and transformed everyday lives. He is also noted for his work on inventions and technological innovations, especially those that emerged from the United States Space Program. On July 20, 1969, Americans had their eyes and ears glued to their TVs and radios. NASA?s successful moon landing left the nation in awe. This moment inspired inventors and engineers across the nation. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, we share with you 20 patents that were inspired by the space race and how they reshaped the world. Featuring the original patent schematics from the US Patent and Trademark Office, blast off with the inventions inspired by the moon landing including: Memory foam; Freeze-dried food; Firefighting equipment; Emergency "space blankets"; DustBusters; Cordless tools; Protective paint (Used on both the Statue of Liberty, a gigantic Buddha in Hong Kong and the Golden Gate); Cochlear implants; LZR Racer swimsuits; CMOS image sensors; Moon dust as fuel for space travel; Carbon nanotubes; Pocket calculators; Other patents in the book reflect the general surge in space-related inventions in that era: Dispersed space based laser weapon; Toy ray guns; Flying saucers; Propulsion systems; Lasers; The modem Integrated circuit; and Astro Lamp (Later called the Lava Lamp). Derived from a a review from Inside Higher Education by Scott McLemee found on-line: The semicentennial of the Apollo 11 mission is one of those anniversaries that involves a good deal of forgetfulness. Public memory of the space program is concentrated into video images of astronauts moving in low gravity and a pronouncement by Neil Armstrong that was profound. But scarcely anything else from the lunar program has left a trace. Among those space nerds was Charles Pappas, who has done the guild proud with One Giant Leap: Iconic and Inspiring Space Race Inventions That Shaped History. The high tide of space exploration generated not just images and sound bites but stuff: some of it awesomely huge and powerful, such as the Saturn rocket, but also innovations that had fairly unpredictable consequences, such as ?open-cell, polymeric foam material with viscoelastic properties,? now usually called memory foam. Pappas is an award-winning science reporter, and a number of chapters are in the genre of inventor profiles or product biographies. But they open up into sketches of how the technical problems and innovations involved in the moon mission linked up with American trends in Cold War-era political and consumer culture. Popular technophilia took a different path once home computers became available, making Pappas?s book a sort of guided tour of a lost world. James Spiller (a professor of history at State University of New York at Brockport) writes in his foreword that they ?whirl with greater energy than standard historical accounts.? Pappas is almost contagiously enthusiastic about his material. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.
