Sinossi

Bullet Dodging explores the surprising intersection of physics and psychology behind our ability to evade fast-moving threats. It examines how our brains and bodies work together to achieve feats of reaction, looking at both real-world scenarios and the exaggerated dodges seen in fiction. Did you know that understanding projectile motion—velocity, trajectory, and acceleration—is crucial for predicting where a threat will be? Or that cognitive biases can significantly impact your reaction time? This book uniquely bridges the gap between intuitive movement and the scientific realities governing it.

 
The book begins by laying out the fundamental physics of projectiles, including air resistance and gravity. It then delves into the psychological factors at play in threat detection, decision-making, and motor control, discussing how visual processing and cognitive biases affect our reflexes.

 
Finally, Bullet Dodging integrates these perspectives to analyze real-world cases, offering potential training methods while acknowledging the limitations of human physiology.

    A behind-the-scenes look at how the military uses video game technology to train soldiers, treat veterans, and entice new recruitsHow does the U.S. military train its soldiers for new forms of armed conflict, all within the constraints of diminished defense budgets? Increasingly, the answer is cutting-edge video game technology. Corey Mead shows us training sessions where soldiers undertake multiplayer “missions” that test combat skills, develop unit cohesion, and teach cultural awareness. He immerses himself in 3-D battle simulations so convincing that they leave his heart racing. And he shows how the military, which has shaped American education more than any other force over the last century, fuels the adoption of games as learning tools—and recruitment come-ons. Mead also details how the military uses games to prepare soldiers for their return to the home front and to treat PTSD. Military-funded researchers were closely involved with the computing advances that led to the invention of the Internet. Now, as Mead proves, we are poised at the brink of a similar explosion in game technology. War Play reveals that many of tomorrow’s teaching tools, therapies, and entertainments can be found in today’s military.

    When I mentioned to my friends my desire to own a female robot, I got the most peculiar responses from them. Firstly, their eyes would light up from the shock. Then they whinnied like a horse laughing. And would slowly back away from me regarding me suspiciously as they did so. 
    A man like me must be careful when he enters old age because people treat you like an imbecile who’s trying to relive his youth by having the audacity to let ideas wander around aimlessly in his head. To some people, old age is frowned upon as a disability. 
    When the day came for me to decide to purchase the robot online, people send my wife wouldn’t allow me to have such a toy. She gave me a lecture on how retired people should act and bringing a female robot into her house was not the act of a sane old fart. “I forbid you having such idle nonsense.” 
    I pressed down hard on the “order now” button and awaited the outcome…

    These are poems about conversations that we'd like to have with ourselves and with others when our bodies and minds are fraying... 
    There's struggle and triumph, loss and humanity within the pages of this eclectic collection of verse. 
    Here's what Readers have to say: 
    "[This] collection brings together the dilemmas doctors and clinicians face through the voices of poetry in a way that is quite extraordinarily moving. It is about intersections, beliefs, power, frailty and so much more." - Ruth 
    "Words from a doctor's heart. The touch-points. The soft, comforting words, the firmness of harsh realities. Acceptance of the inevitable. Or the frustrating answers that make no sense." - Ashish 
    "Some of the stories may sound unreal to those who haven't been to crowded public hospitals in large cities. A doctor's perspective beautifully captured. Most of the poems are short stories of amazing tales. If you read poetry or short stories, don't miss out on this one." - Wonchi Murry
